Sun at Midnight

Alice Peel is a geologist. She believes in observation, thesis, analysis and proof. But now she stands alone on the deck of a rickety Chilean ship. Instead of the familiar measurable world, everything that lies ahead of her is unknown and unpredictable. Six weeks earlier Alice's life was comfortably unfolding in an Oxford summer. Then, with a suddenly broken relationship behind her, she accepted an invitation to the end of the earth: Antarctica. James Rooker is a man on the run. He's been running since his childhood in New Zealand. Leaving women and homes behind, he keeps moving. Now, there is nowhere further to go but the same small Antarctic research station.
