The effects of global warming continue to worsen in this second of a trilogy of near-future environmental thrillers. In FORTY DAYS OF RAIN, flood was the primary danger, causing widespread devastation to Washington, D.C. Now, the melting of the polar ice caps overwhelms the Gulf Stream, resulting in substantial drops in temperature and heralding the dawn of a new Ice Age. Dr. Frank Vanderwal of the National Science Foundation battles government mismanagement and petty politics while he and his fellow scientists seek for some way to get the climate back on track.
