First time mum, Rachael, is persuaded to leave her husband & their infant daughter to winter in Antarctica. The ice shelf is breaking up & this is Rachael & her old boss Guy's only chance to get the data needed to persuade the government to stop drilling. Now weeks or months later, things did not go to plan & Rachael is alone on the Ross Ice Shelf in -70 degree cold, days from base camp. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf None of the phones work & all Rachael receives is a repeating BBC World Broadcast message on a portable radio saying that there has been a nuclear strike on the UK - everyone she knew is probably dead & it seems to have knocked out all communication links everywhere. She is about to run out of food & fuel & help is not coming so Rachael will have to head out into the unknown to try & find her way home. 4w
OutsmartYourShelf I love anything set in out in the wilderness or inhospitable climates so it looked right up my street. This started off strongly, alternating between the past & the present to what led up to Rachael's current predicament, but it did lose its way a little towards the end as it became more & more improbable that Rachael would keep surviving all these deadly occurrences. If you can suspend your disbelief a little though, it's a cracking read. 3.75🌟 4w
OutsmartYourShelf My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, HarperCollins UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
