Cold Energy. The Alex Cave Series book 2.
An ancient alien artifact creates devastating earthquakes and begins freezing the oceans, in this science fiction techno-thriller.
Sudden freezing temperatures cause weather patterns to change for the worse and threaten a catastrophe that will affect the entire world. Geologist Alex Cave leads a small band of volunteers on the high-tech research vessel named the Mystic in a desperate attempt to remedy the situation before civilization faces ecological disaster, but members of the group have their own agenda, seeking wealth and fame through murder and seduction.
Captain John Dieter's greed blinds him to the suffering caused by the disastrous weather conditions, and he enlists the help of modern day pirates to capture the Mystic and take it to an unknown island in the Bering Sea, the supposed location of a vast horde of stolen treasure.
Alex begins a desperate race to find the Mystic, the only ship capable of finding a solution. If he fails, life as we know it will be gone forever.
