Synopsis
On Thanksgiving weekend, 6 precisely placed nuclear warheads buried 2,000 feet below the ice detonate in sequence, shearing the Ross Ice Shelf off and triggering massive tsunamis. Within hours millions will die. SEAL Captain Mitch Webber and oceanographer Cory Rey, once lovers, now enemies, are plunged into a maelstrom of international intrigue as they attempt to prevent disaster.
Is Icefire appropriate for my child?
Suitable for most readers 10 and up.
This middle grade fantasy continues David's adventures with clay dragons and magical realism. While the synopsis mentions nuclear warheads and disasters, the actual book series is about a college student's encounters with sentient clay dragons in domestic settings—the synopsis appears mismatched.
