Whiteout

UK Publisher: HarperCollins

Lost in Antarctica.
How long can she survive?

My name is Rachael, and I’m on a solo Antarctic expedition.

But a month ago I lost contact with basecamp.

I’m safe for fourteen more days in my little hut at the bottom of the world. But I can’t stay here forever, I have to find out what’s happened.

Even if there’s no one left to tell.
