White Road Climate Fiction Eco Thriller Adventure

Only one knows the truth. Only one can reveal it. Only one can save them all. "A gripping, page-turning eco-thriller, part oil rig drama and part survival story. The worlds of the oil industry and the Arctic are convincingly rendered." -- Kevan Manwaring, author/editor of Writing Eco-Fiction and Heavy Weather "An intelligent, urgent, white-knuckle ride through the brutal Canadian Arctic, this is a novel that will get you thinking, keep you guessing - and leave you reeling. Whitehead's vivid depiction of the hazards of ruthless extractivism couldn't be more timely - and if there's a Nerves of Steel Award, its heroine, Carrie Essler, would win it hands down." -- Liz Jensen, bestselling author of The Rapture and The Uninvited "A page-turning disaster drama, White Road is also a moral re-examination of the climate crisis and our species' relentless need for more hydrocarbons. The author attends to the hour-by-hour twists in his plot, yet spliced to a forensic exploration of the human heart. He gives us a love letter to the extraordinary ice world of the Arctic: both its fragile beauty and its remorseless terrors.
