Thaw

Some secrets won’t stay buried.

From the best-selling author of The Last Man in Europe comes a gripping and intriguing time-slip adventure novel of camaraderie and scientific discovery, with a whip-smart female protagonist.

1912. Defeated in the race to be the first to the South Pole, five British explorers battle un-survivable low temperatures as they struggle across the frozen Antarctic landscape seeking the safety of their camp.

Today. Ice sheets are melting, and secrets buried for over a century are being uncovered. Glacial archaeologist Missy Simpson works to discover the true cause of the explorer’s deaths, while her colleague, Jim Hunter, is working on his own scientific mysteries–and is willing to risk everything to solve them.

In hallowed halls of learning and on the icy polar plateau, these risk-takers must grapple with the unfathomable power of the natural world and the dramatically changing weather–while navigating their own complicated relationships.

Drawn from the pages of history and cutting-edge science, Thaw is a gripping read that will forever change how you see the frozen continent–and those who seek to conquer it.

‘Dennis Glover proves himself a master of the historical novel. Thaw is a gripping evocation of nature in extremis, of explorers and scientific discovery, blended with a contemporary tale of the frozen past coming back to life’
—Chris Feik, Publisher 

‘Thrilling, intelligent and vivid. Glover is a master of writing time and place. This is a completely unputdownable adventure, thoroughly researched with brilliant attention to the smallest details. Our contemporary heroine is an entirely relatable woman who is perfect in her imperfections.’
—Emily Pert, Sales & Trade Marketing Coordinator
