An Imminent and Dangerous Quest

Dr. Robert White is just leaving Running Springs, California, after consulting with Nick Dutton, a climatologist, conservationist, and friend, about data from ice cores extracted during Nick's recent polar expedition.

Going down a winding road in the San Bernardino Mountains, Dr. White witnesses a high-speed car chase that ends with Nick's death and an incomplete note, explaining Nick's desperate getaway attempt. Now the pursuer is after the doctor.

As the predator and prey struggle evolves, Dr. White encounters corruption within one of the most respected institutions in the world, and his lethal nemesis within his very own circle of friends.
