Jack Courtney is back, and the stakes couldn't be higher...

Jack Courtney and his friends Amelia, Xander and Caleb are on an Arctic expedition funded by the environmental agency Greensword Investments. But when a series of suspicious accidents start happening, including one of their guides going missing, Jack becomes determined to find out what's really going on at Greensword...


Wilbur is no stranger to exotic locations in his books about the adult Courtney dynasty, and this one, set in the unforgiving Arctic wilderness, is no different


There's lots of danger in Jack's latest adventure that you'll enjoy reading about, such as when Jack needs to be rescued quickly after an avalanche buries him.


Just like the other books in the Jack Courtney series, there's a serious conservation message, as Jack and his friends also want to make a film to win an environmental contest.


If you've read about Jack's adventures in Cloudburst and Thunderbolt, you'll enjoy this latest book in the series.


Overall, this is an exciting adventure of mystery and survival, with an environmental message at its core, and perfect if you're a fan of the Courtney family's adventures.
