Iceberg

"In 2006, the world is about to be overwhelmed by a disaster that might destroy human civilization: the inversion of the Earth's magnetic field. Deep in the Antarctic base, the FLIPback team is frantically devising a system to reserve the change in polarity. Above them, the SS Elysium carries its jet-set passengers on an ultimate cruise. On board is Ruby Duvall, a journalist sent to record the FLIPback moment. Instead, she finds a man called the Doctor, who is locked out of a strange green box he says is merely a part of his time machine. And she finds old enemies of the Doctor: silver giants at work beneath the ice."--Page 4 of cover.
