The Arctic Faultline

When a remote Arctic mining outpost goes silent, CIA black-ops asset Logan Briggs is sent north under a false identity and a single directive: observe, don't intervene. But the frozen camp he finds is a ghost-meals half-eaten, power still running, and a cavern beneath the ice glowing with an impossible mineral known only to a handful of governments. The deeper Briggs digs, the clearer the truth becomes: the disappearance wasn't an accident.
A covert multinational network-the Black Tide Syndicate-has infiltrated the Arctic, using a resonant mineral called AURORITE to trigger controlled microquakes capable of redrawing global borders without firing a shot. When the faultline beneath the ice begins to awaken, Briggs is forced into an uneasy alliance with Canadian Forces specialist Captain Rhea Morgan, a woman who distrusts every motive he carries.
Together, they uncover a conspiracy that spans continents, fueled by investors who treat nations like pieces on a board. As the Arctic fractures around them, Briggs faces a choice that will define the rest of his life: obey the Agency that created him-or stop the catastrophe they're willing to ignore. When the ground itself becomes a weapon, loyalty is the first thing to break. Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Mark Greaney, and Michael Crichton.
