New York Times–Bestselling Author: A captured submarine must be retrieved from the Russians before they can decode its cutting-edge technology . . . The Royal Navy is testing Sea Leopard, an anti-sonar device that can make its subs virtually undetectable. But before the work can be completed, their nuclear submarine Proteus is targeted and trapped by the Soviet Union—whose military is determined to figure out, and steal, this new technology. Spymaster Kenneth Aubrey sends SIS agent Patrick Hyde to locate the device’s inventor before the KGB gets to him first. In the meantime, a US Navy officer is on his way to Russia in hopes of fixing Sea Leopard and getting Proteus out of drydock before it’s too late . . . Praise for Craig Thomas’s thrillers “Will have you sweating bullets. Thomas misses no tricks, and tension is sustained from first page to last.” —The New York Times Book Review “High-octane.” —Daily Express

When sea-ice declines, so does the population of Adelie penguins, making this species a predictive indicator of the effects of global warming. This book summarizes our present ecological knowledge of this species: its biology, behavior, and ecology within the Antarctic ecosystem; the ecological factors important to its life history; and details of the mechanisms by which it is responding to climate change. The narrative is complemented by richly written texts from the earliest Antarctic naturalists, fine illustrations from the accomplished artist Lucia deLeiris, and photographs by the author.
