In the endless night of the Arctic Winter one man and one woman are pitted against a pitiless foe.For decades East and West have been engaged in a hidden winter war, far from the prying eyes of news drones and television satellites, a clandestine war of ambush and counter-ambush in the harsh, unrelenting darkness.

About the author
Ed Bowie
14 books4 followersMy name is Ed Bowie — and I write adventures.
I'm not wedded to any particular genre, but where I can, I've written stories in groups...
The Arctic Trilogy books (VINTERKRIG / SOMMERKRIG / PITERAQ) are all out-and-out action adventures. They've been described as Alistair Maclean stories for the digital age — which I'm pretty OK with.
The Liberation Trilogy (CARNIVAL OF HATE / ACT OF MALICE / PURSUIT OF EVIL) are historical adventures set in the last months of the Second World War. They're rather more layered and thoughtful — but still very fast-paced.
At the moment TOTALITY stands alone. It's a complex adventure, aimed at people who really love a historical thriller. It's an accessible read — but it will have your head spinning. I'm working on the second story in the series THE RULE OF ISFET — but it's tough going because the people who love TOTALITY have very high expectations.
On a much lighter note, I've just released a children's book ORC WORLD — which is a lot of fun, in a naughty, slightly gory way.
MANDELMAN — which comes out next month, is a fantasy adventure, set in a world which is perpetually at war. I'll let you know a bit more about it nearer the time...

‘Cold War Two’ combines action and adventure in the very unusual setting of the Arctic. The dark and wintry landscape is locked under an impenetrable mile deep sheet of ice - complete with swirling ice storms, and constant darkness, which only adds to an already tension filled read as one man and one woman take on the might of the Russian war machine.
The sinking of a nuclear submarine off the coast of Greenland, brings together NATO strategist Commander Warren and surveillance expert Siv Jagland to counteract Russia’s attempts to upset the global balance of power.
Set in the near future when Russia and the West are supposedly on good terms, a bitter and vicious war ensues in the Arctic that the general public are completely unaware of.
This was a gripping storyline where the harsh and unforgiving environment added much to the proceedings. Tough and gritty, this story brings together a collection of hard as concrete characters, not least our two protagonists. In this high stakes game there’s some romance and humour, but in very measured doses, for this is a dark tale, and an exciting, action packed, edge of the seat one!
