Road of Bones

Ben Gallagher, part time writer, full time cynic, struggling to make sense of his incurable disease, has his carefully scripted life shattered when he receives an unexpected package from Argentina containing riddles he alone must solve. A search for the answers sends him, reluctantly, into the depths of the hideously cold Antarctic, in search of a devastating secret buried under twenty-four-million years of ice at the world's most remote research facility, Russia's Vostok Station.But first he had to get there, by walking on a plane of ice twelve thousand feet high, in the dark, through an unimaginable blizzard, where it was already −105 °F and would only get colder--much, much colder. It was a world of killing extremes, making Ben wonder how any environment could hate life so much as to deprive it of any saving graces, leaving him curious as to why people think of hell as hot.Road of Bones, an action-adventure, is fast paced, rich with detail and a shocking ending.
