Minus Fifty Below: Surviving in a post-apocalyptic ice age

By Ronnie Sarkin

Minus Fifty Below is a gripping "faction" novel-seamlessly blending fact and fiction-serving as both a chilling roadmap and a captivating narrative of life before, during, and after the onset of a looming ice age. Set against the backdrop of a world in denial, the story follows Fran and Don, a couple brought together during the Covid-19 lockdown in Toronto through an internet messenger service.
As their romance blossoms, so does Don's unwavering belief in the imminent arrival of an ice age-a natural disaster few are willing to consider amidst the noise of global warming. Together, Fran and Don embark on a harrowing journey to prepare for the unthinkable. The increasingly extreme Polar Vortex storms ravaging North America, Europe, and Russia are foreboding signs, and a prediction for this apocalyptic freeze is that it could descend by 2030 or shortly thereafter.
With equal parts drama, romance, and scientific detail, Minus Fifty Below plunges readers into the heart of survival as Fran and Don confront the realities of life with family and likeminded friends at fifty degrees below zero. How does one endure such a hostile climate? What becomes of humanity, civilization, and love in a frozen world? And most chillingly-what if this fictional tale becomes your reality?
Whether viewed as a thrilling science-fiction escape or an unsettling glimpse into a plausible future, Minus Fifty Below delivers a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and inspiration. Will Fran and Don's preparations be enough? Or will nature's wrath outmatch even their determination?
