Book Description:
How can a single glacier grow dramatically while hundreds are shrinking around the world?
This paradox confronts a young glaciologist Kate Landry as she looks down at her research site buried under shocking mounds of new snow. Little does she know that Mount Olympus is in the bulls-eye for a sophisticated geoengineering experiment being conducted by a scientist who has convinced a secretive international oil cartel to fund his dubious climate modification techniques. While Kate struggles to understand why the glacier is growing and begins to unravel the entire nefarious scheme, she also struggles to avoid the unraveling of her developing relationship with social psychologist Grant Poole. The more Kate uncovers on the glacier, the more her own life is at risk. Can she expose the unethical and dangerous geoengineering operation without being caught before she’s stopped? And at what risk to her life?

My Review:
Panic Peak: A Cli Fi Thriller is the first book from the Warming World Adventures series. It is, also, a great debut for the talented author, William A. Liggett. This is the first experience with the genre of cli fi. I have never heard of it before and was intrigued enough to find out. I was not disappointed. This book was full of adventure, danger and action packed. It had quite a few of twists and turns that I could have never predicted. I never knew what would happen from scene to scene. I found the author's use of scientific facts to bring on an interesting story. It is a quick read and was easy for me to have it finished in one sitting. An overall, fast paced tale to be immersed in for a few hours.
I am giving Panic Peak: A Cli Fi Thriller a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read adult fiction and thrillers. I am curious to see what William A Liggett has in store for his characters and fans in the next installment from the Warming World Adventures series, Watermelon Snow: A Novel of Survival in the Washington Wilderness. I believe this one should not be missed.
I received a paperback copy of William A Liggett's Panic Peak: A Cli Fi Thriller from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Thanks for hosting and reviewing my latest novel, Panic Peak. W. A. (Bill) Liggett
