A Blizzard of Polar Bears

A Novel of Suspense

De: Alice Henderson

Narrado por: Eva Kaminsky

Wildlife biologist Alex Carter is back, fighting for endangered species in the Canadian Arctic and battling for her life in this action-packed follow-up to A Solitude of Wolverines, “a true stunner of a thriller debut” (James Rollins) and “a great read” (Nevada Barr).

Fresh off her wolverine study in Montana, wildlife biologist Alex Carter lands a job studying a threatened population of polar bears in the Canadian Arctic. Embedded with a small team of Arctic researchers, she tracks the majestic bears by air, following them over vast, snowy terrain, spending days leaning precariously out of a helicopter with a tranquilizer gun, until she can get down on the ice to examine them up close.

But as her study progresses, and she gathers data on the health of individual bears, things start to go awry. Her helicopter pilot quits unexpectedly, equipment goes missing, and a late-night intruder breaks into her lab and steals the samples she’s collected. She realizes that someone doesn’t want her to complete her study, but Alex is not easily deterred.

Managing to find a replacement pilot, she returns to the icy expanses of Hudson Bay. But the helicopter catches fire in midflight, forcing the team to land on a vast sheet of white far from civilization. Surviving on the frozen landscape is difficult enough, but as armed assailants close in on snowmobiles, Alex must rely on her skills and tenacity to survive this onslaught and carry out her mission.

Too much violence

The craziness of the violence in each day is unrealistic. No one could sustain that much harm to their body and keep going. Also the narrator has a weird way of leaving her sentences turning into a question like sound where there is no question! The premise that polar bears need saving is real....just needs to be told differently.

Slow start, good finish.

Ok, so you will learn everything about Polar Bears. But once things get weird, they really get weird. I really liked this story and thought it better than the 1st novel. Yeah, it's a bit preachy but the action is awesome. The descriptions are awesome. I still think the main character is a bit cringe as in preachy and dense to danger, but I liked her more in this story. What a good ride.

Outstanding

I highly recommend this book and narrators! The storyline was multilayered and brought to an exciting ending! Authors closing comments told the sad story of climate change and the effects on polar bears !
Narrator was exceptional!

Another great one.

Enjoyed this book very much. it was a quick read that kept me guessing. the books character has my dream job and can not wait to read her next adventure.

Another good book from Alice Henderson

A great combination of Arctic wildlife and suspense, I truly enjoyed all the details about wildlife research. How criminal interests get weaved into the research made it a fascinating story for me. As for the narrator, I think she did a very good job. I have come to like the different inflection, cadence and intonation of narrators. If the narration makes me 'live' the story, I think it adds to the uniqueness of an audible book.

James Bond for wildlife lovers

I love that Alex is so hard core and can get herself out of anything. Also love all the details regarding wildlife. Well researched, interesting and fast paced! Definitely fabulous

Can this just be a tv show or movie!?!?

Picked this up the same time I got the first one and it actually was what caught my eye first but I couldn’t start on this one… this was so good! Super fun read! If you like suspense then this is great!

Some of it gets preachy but look past that and you’ll love it still

I'm loving her books!!

I'm a lover of outdoors and wildlife so her books tie in all that with mystery, suspense, and a reminder of what's really going on out in the environment that we everyday people may not be aware of.

Loved it!

Another great story and narration! For someone who loves mysteries and animals it was a fun ride and shines a light on the plight of animals. Try it out - I bet you’ll love it too!

Hudson Bay sounds like an amazing place

The author really knows how to keep you involved in the book twist and turns it every chapter.
truly a wonderful educated author that loves the Earth and all the creatures on it
