Glacier World is a $500 million Alaskan resort owned by a Malaysian company. It is a Jurassic World-type, theme park where tourists visiting by cruise ship can enjoy all the wonders of Alaska in one location-a recreated gold rush town, snow-capped mountains, rugged glaciers, and, of course, its predators, like the Alaskan brown bear, wolves, wolverines, and killer whales-all in their natural habitats.
But Glacier World may have a darker, criminal side. While the Coast Guard is unable to identify and stops incidents of piracy and missing cargo in the North Pacific and Gulf of Alaska, a thousand miles to the south on the coast of Washington state, Earl Armstrong, a tribal forester, is missing his shipment of valuable, export lumber that could cost him his job and destroy his career. Attempting to trace his lost shipment in the era of computerized global transactions and, ultimately, in the ice and snowbound mountains of Southeast Alaska, Earl, his friends and his son are exposed to danger and death as they attempt to discover why his valuable lumber ended up in Alaska and pursued by more than one kind of Glacier World predator.
