Polar Shift | Clive Cussler

Polar Shift is a high-stakes adventure thriller in The NUMA Files series, following NUMA Special Assignments Team operative Kurt Austin as he faces a global catastrophe engineered by a dangerous antagonist. Decades earlier, an eccentric genius discovered how to artificially trigger a shift in the Earth’s polar ice caps—a process that could unleash massive eruptions, earthquakes, climate chaos, and widespread destruction. Now, the leader of an anti-globalization group plans to use this polar-shift technology to deliver a dramatic jolt to industrialized nations, falsely believing he can reverse it afterward. The problem: once the polar shift starts, it cannot be stopped. Austin, his teammate Joe Zavala, and the rest of NUMA must form unlikely alliances and race against time to stop the conspiracy and save the world from irreversible disaster.
