Description

An extraordinary thriller set at the frozen edge of the world, perfect for fans of Dan Simmons, Michael Crichton and Dan Brown.

In the Arctic Ocean, the US Coast Guard icebreaker Terra Nova batters its way through the pack ice. There shouldn't be anyone near them for hundreds of miles. But then a lone skier, half-dead with cold, emerges out of the snow.

His name is Tom Anderson, and he is the only survivor of a disaster at Zodiac Station, a scientific research base deep in the Arctic Circle. He tells an incredible story of scientists and spies, of lust and greed, of jealousy, mayhem and murder. But his tale simply doesn't add up. Whose blood is smeared across his clothes Why is there a bullet hole through the jacket he's wearing, and why is that jacket labelled with someone else's name

It's clear that more was going on at Zodiac Station than Anderson is telling. And someone else may have survived the disaster, as well... someone who has killed before, and who is willing to kill again.

Reviews

Pacy, sharp and beautifully described, it's one of those books for which the cliche "hard to put down" is happily true. - SFX

If anyone deserves the sobriquet of the thinking person's Dan Brown, it's Tom Harper. Zodiac Station handles with elan a multi-perspective story in which the eponymous Arctic station becomes a metaphor for multinational distrust. - Independent

As one would expect from a Tom Harper thriller, the plot is deliciously clever and is as twisty as you could wish for....There's not much separating man from beast in this world, nor reality from horror. - For Winter Nights
