From the back cover:

In the forbidding climate of the Artic Circle, metal cracks like glass, rubber shatters, plastic crumbles, and world famous scientists are dying horrific deaths - and no one knows why.

As the international team of scientists at the spectacular Trudeau Research Centre prepare for six months of unrelenting winer, three of their colleagues are found dead on the ice, their pupils missing, their bodies contorted in ghastly, unnatural positions, hardened from the inside out. Casue of death: unkown.

Dr Jessica Hanley, talented and unorthodox American epidemiologist, is summoned to the isolated station to investigate the cause of these grisly deaths before the unthinkable become reality.

Halfway around the world in Moscow, Admiral Rudenko is called upon to locate a submare that has suddenly and inexplicably disappeared in the waters he once knew well - the Norwegian fjords. Ideally suited to this sensitive assignment, and conveniently expendable, Rudenko must locate and retrieve this rogue ship at any cost.

Their missions will converge explosively in the unforgiving extremes of the Artic night. Brilliantly crafted and terrifyingly convincing, The Trudeau Vector delves into the precarious, volatile area where science and politics can calsh with disastrous results.

RELEASE NOTES:

Go this from a "reading group" giveaway and in reality it hasn't made it very far up Mt TB and due to an impending house move, I am trying to be good and send some books on their journey.

This one is going to the first meeting of the Gold Coast bookcrossers.

Picked up at the meet for Mr Kidwrangler to read. Thanks Madam Muck for travelling all that way today, it was great to see you and Mr Muck :)

Well, Mr Kidwrangler never read this but I finally did!
Good Reads review: Read as part of a personal challenge to clear my oldest BookCrossing books from Mt TBR. I kept putting this one off because of the international espionage aspect even though I like a good thriller. Well, I'm really glad I read it as I enjoyed the epidemiology in the storyline and the Arctic settings. This kept me wanting to turn pages and I enjoyed the twists and turns of the hunt. I was a little disappointed with the ending, but only a little and more around the character writing rather than the resolutions. A good read and now it is finally ready to be shared along after sitting unread for almost two decades! Epidemiology can be more appreciated now at least :)

Taking to the Bris Bookcrossing lunch - if not taken will be released nearby.

I picked this up at the Brisbane Bookcrossing meetup.
