Icequake is a fascinating and disaster science fiction novel that is loved by readers.
A team of 27 scientists and explorers is stranded in Antarctica.
Residing at a station called Shackleton, they are studying the seismic activity of the area. An eruption of a nearby volcano, Mount Erebus, will soon cause earthquakes across the continent with devastating consequences.
All radio communication has been disabled due to a malfunction of the magnetic field. No one knows if they survived the quake and their station is currently moving two kilometers north every day with strong aftershocks. They are alone, with limited food and resources.
Do they stay put and risk being caught up in the next series of earthquakes and avalanches? Or do they pack their bags and cross dangerous territory to get to the next station?
