An epic love story and adventure set against the harsh, beautiful background of Antarctica. Alice Peel is a geologist. She believes in observation and proof. But now she stands alone on the deck of a rickety Chilean ship as a stark landscape reveals itself. Instead of the familiar measurable world, everything that lies ahead of her is unknown and unpredictable. Six weeks earlier her life was comfortably unfolding in an Oxford summer. Then, with her relationship suddenly in pieces, she accepted an invitation to join a group working at the end of the earth: Antarctica. James Rooker is a man on the run. He's been running since his childhood in New Zealand. Now, there is nowhere further to go. He has taken a job working on the same small Antarctic research station. Alice discovers an ice-blue and silver world, lit by sunlight. Nothing has prepared her for the beauty of it, or the claustrophobia of a tiny base shared with eight men and one other woman. The isolation wipes out everyone's past, and tension crackles in the air. But there is a jolt of recognition between Alice and Rooker that is like nothing she has ever known. And it is in Antartica that she discovers something else that will change her life forever ... if she survives.

Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -An epic love story and adventure set against the harsh beautiful background of Antarctica. Alice is a scientist: she relies on method precision proof. But when her relationship with Oxford artist Peter Brown collapses spectacularly she is forced to evaluate her own life for the first time. In her thirties childless tied to Oxford by her work it is time to break away. Alice`s mother Margaret Mather is famous as an adventuring anthropologist one of the first women in Antarctica many years before. Alice accepts an invitation to go in Margaret`s place to the southernmost point of the earth and stay there for months away from the world that has let her down. Little does she expect the strangeness of a place coloured blue and white lit by an unearthly permanent sunlight. And nothing has prepared her for the close confines of a small base shared with eight men and one other woman. A base where tensions run high where the hostile environment traps them and where the distance means no-one has a past. Where she feels such a strong attraction to a man with danger in his face that she cannot speak to him. And where she discovers something else that will change her life forever. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is HarperCollins The date of this copy is 2005 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
