He even goes as far as including a non-fiction narrative just after the Prologue to help the uninitiated understand why this area of the globe is so important to so many people and there is a helpful bibliography at the end which discloses his source of information. Add to the mix a group of environmental extremists and an explosive ending is guaranteed.įans of Geza Tatrallyay will know that his research is flawless so the factual setting in which he structures his fictional tale is always believable. With the Chinese looking to expand their interests into the Arctic region and the United States taking a strong stance, what could possibly go wrong? To add complexity to an already complicated scenario, little Greenland, resource rich but small in population is vying for independence from Denmark and is looking for assistance from bigger players to help achieve its aims. But the UN process is corrupted and the Russians are hell-bent on thwarting any outcome that is not in their best interests.

Australian, Lock McTierney, a professor of geology at Beijing University, heads the sub-commission charged with considering both the joint Danish-Canadian and the Russian submissions. Hanne Kristensen, an attractive Danish geologist, teams up with Canadian diplomat, Richard Simpson to lead a joint Danish-Canadian effort to gain the award by the United Nations of vast sub-sea territory.

'Arctic Meltdown' by author, Geza Tatrallyay is a gripping thriller set against the backdrop of the melting polar icecap and the not-so-subtle scramble for resources on the Arctic seabed. This is one of those books you will want to explore more than once.ĪRCTIC MELTDOWN - review by Daryl Greer ,September 27, 2021 Either I'm not as crazy as I thought I was, or I am in fine company with Geza. I found the day dreams enticing, and the night dreams encouraging. The Mind Spins is an interesting collection of shorts. THE IND SPINS - review by Bonnye Reed, December 7, 2021
