Produktbeschreibung
Arctic Meltdown, a gripping environmental thriller, is set against the backdrop of the melting polar icecap and the ensuing jostling for jurisdiction over additional seabed resources. Hanne Kristensen, a beautiful Danish geologist, has to contend with a corrupted UN process, China's growing interest in Arctic resources and maritime routes, Russian military aggression and the resulting international tension to try to save the world from war and the Arctic from environmental catastrophe. A potential complication in this real-life situation is that resource rich but population poor Greenland is egged on toward independence from Denmark by Chinese money and Russian military domination. This is a book that presages what is actually happening in the Arctic today.
Autorenporträt
Born in Budapest, Hungary, Geza escaped with his family in 1956, emigrating to Canada. He graduated with a BA in Human Ecology from Harvard University in 1972, and, as a Rhodes Scholar, next attended Oxford University, where he obtained a BA/MA in Human Sciences in 1974. He completed his studies with a MSc in Economics from London School of Economics and Politics, and represented Canada as an épée fencer in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

Geza's professional experience has included stints in government, international organizations, finance and environmental entrepreneurship. Since 2004, he has been semi-retired, managing a few investments mainly in the clean energy sector and devoting his time to the two great loves in his life, his family and his writing. With dual Canadian and Hungarian nationality, Geza divides his time between Bordeaux, France, and Barnard, Vermont, with frequent visits to New York, Toronto, and London. He has a few early publishing credits to his name (mainly poetry, articles, a short story translation from Hungarian etc.) as well as the thriller Arctic Meltdown.
