"...this age of decay..."

Anders Nordvelt is a last minute replacement as Head of Security for the dark winter months at the Australis station in Antarctica. 

The story takes place in the future at least twenty years out. The world is pretty much run by The Company. Australis is producing coal, iron and oil from an Antarctic affected by global warming.

Anders arrives at the station, contact is decreased because of winter, and almost immediately a series of horrible crimes start to happen and the other twelve people at the station are all eying each other, but especially Anders, with suspicion.

I love books about Antarctica even ones in the future. This story presents a grim look at aspects of a future world along with the crew at Australis. 

This was a book that I enjoyed very much.

I received this book from Flame Tree Press through Net Galley in the hopes that I would read it and leave an unbiased review.
