A Blizzard of Polar Bears

A Novel of Suspense

By: Alice Henderson

Narrated by: 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.

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.

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.

Excellent Mystery!!

What an intricately developed mystery this book is from start to finish! Interesting from beginning to end

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
