"History recorded his death. The truth may yet save the world." In 1929, famed Arctic aviator Carl Ben Eielson vanished during a rescue mission-or so the world believed. But in this gripping alternate-history epic, Eielson survives the crash only to be captured by Soviet forces and thrust into a secret NKVD program studying an impossible phenomenon buried beneath the Siberian ice. When a sentient, ancient force capable of rewriting the laws of physics awakens, Eielson escapes with a fragment of its power, joining unlikely allies: Anya Morozova, a brilliant Soviet scientist forced to choose between truth and state; Orlov, her mentor haunted by guilt; and Merkulov, a soldier who discovers his own humanity too late. Their flight across the frozen tundra ignites a covert global race. American operatives, German intelligence, Japanese observers, and Soviet armies all converge-each willing to start a war to capture the survivors and the secret they carry. But the anomaly has chosen its messengers for a reason. From the dark halls of the Kremlin to the brutal beauty of the Arctic wilderness, Frozen Empire weaves political intrigue, survival adventure, and cosmic mystery into the untold story of the man who changed history by disappearing from it. What Eielson and Anya bring out of the ice could alter the coming world war...or save humanity from itself.
