The Whiteout at Sirocco Base

About this book

Twenty-one-year-old Mateo Cruz, a vertical-agriculture engineer raised in a sweltering coastal metropolis, is abruptly reassigned to Sirocco Base, a decaying Arctic research station. Unprepared for the relentless cold and failing climate tech, Mateo must quickly adapt to survive the prolonged polar night. As geodesic shelters fracture and heating gel depletes, he uncovers a deadly corporate conspiracy: the station director is suppressing data on sea-ice degradation to fast-track shipping lanes, trapping the crew in a lethal environment. Interwoven with his harrowing fight for survival is the raw, unflinching memory of his intense, complicated romance with a former landscape collaborator back home. Navigating visceral physical strain, a dangerous midnight pack-ice extraction, and a claustrophobic standoff, Mateo transforms from a dependent intern to a fierce, independent operator. He must hijack the station's communications to expose the truth, fighting for his life, his career, and the chance to return home to renegotiate the boundaries of adult love.
