The Polar Track (107,000 words) is based on the dream of every Alaskan since the large state was bought from Russia in 1867: a rail link to the continental U.S. through Canada. The resulting project is no ordinary railway but a magnetic-levitation (mag-lev) conveyance allowing the train to travel the 3000 miles from Fairbanks to Seattle at speeds of over 400mph. Linked with this viaduct is a pipeline for a commodity which “the lower 48,” especially those states in the southwest, will need in critical amounts: water. Ice melt from three large glaciers is shipped inside large pipes suspended under the viaduct along with those carrying oil and natural gas.

A music teacher’s family is killed in a collision with a fast-ferry owned by the company who is building the mag-lev line. In his hunt to find out the truth, he finds an unlikely ally in a former Army sniper, decorated for his prowess against the Taliban in Afghanistan. The duo threatens to turn the new line into an inferno and an international hunt begins spearheaded by Special Forces teams from two countries.
