Ice Part 1

As winter tightens its grip, humanity faces extinction from an unexpected threat...

The breathtaking fourth installment in the post-apocalyptic DELUGE series plunges readers into a world where the flood was only the beginning. Five months after the catastrophic wave that drowned most of Earth's landmass, a new crisis emerges: a rapidly advancing ice age that threatens to erase what remains of human civilization.

Following the disastrous explosion of the Minotaur rocket, Earth's climate has been dramatically altered. Snow falls across Nevada, ice forms in Arkansas, and temperatures plummet worldwide. Separated by circumstance but united by desperation, our survivors face their greatest challenge yet:

Dr. "Buzz" Baxter, haunted by guilt over his role in both disasters, embarks on a dangerous journey north to discover why his xenobots have created a runaway ice age rather than restoring Earth's climate balance. With his farm under attack by mysterious forces, he must leave behind the woman he loves to seek answers that could save humanity—if he lives long enough to find them.

Russian cosmonaut Yuri Sharipov has survived the destruction of the International Space Station with crucial evidence of Chinese activities in Antarctica. Now he and Bobby Rodriguez race across a frozen wasteland to reach President Buchanan with information that could change the course of history, pursued by enemies determined to silence them at any cost.

Meanwhile, Ellie Fischer has finally found her daughter Maria alive—only to discover she must choose between reuniting with her child or completing a vital mission to California, where movie star Joel Baxter has somehow survived and may hold the key to understanding Governor Booker's sinister alliance with foreign powers.

As connections between survivors emerge and long-buried truths surface, they discover that power, survival, and the future of humanity itself may depend on uncovering secrets hidden beneath the spreading ice.

In a world growing colder by the day, the flame of hope flickers dangerously close to extinction...
