A NASA astronaut is dying on the Antarctic ice-shelf. Testing an experimental space-suit in the extreme conditions, he is lost in the white-out, facing a total communications and life-support powerdown.

It’s Christmas 1999: Richard Mariner – aboard HMS Erebus, delivering New Year supplies to the BAS bases nearby – becomes involved in NASA’s desperate rescue attempt. So do the passengers on board Kalinin, a state-of-the-art Russian cruise liner. But then, as an FBI investigation into the astronaut’s death traps them all at the NASA base, other deaths occur and suspicious events start to become explosive...

At last, the only way out for Richard, his friends and family lies aboard Kalinin, the most luxurious and technologically advanced ship that they have ever seen. But their relief is short-lived. For, as the dawn of the Millennium approaches, it brings with it desperate weather conditions on a scale to overwhelm even Kalinin herself. And it soon becomes apparent that the only man on board with the knowledge, experience and ability to overcome the fatal conditions is Richard. That is, if he can stay alive for long enough to get them all safely through the screaming white-out, a total powerdown in all of Kalinin’s systems – and a lethal plan set in motion by the astronaut’s death...
