Probes from an advanced alien civilisation are discovered amongst meteorites which have hit the coldest parts of the planet. Are they an attempt to communicate, or are they a prelude to something much more sinister, an alien invasion? Is the human race in danger of annihilation? The events lead to much debate on earth. Scientists too are puzzled. Why have the aliens used probes? Why have the coldest, and least populated, parts of the planet been targeted? All these questions are answered when a giant asteroid, a mini-world full of aliens, swings into orbit. The sun’s life-giving light and heat is blocked out, causing the temperature to plummet to a mind-numbing minus sixty degrees Celsius. Most of the Earth’s plant and animal life perishes, including millions of humans, and the survivors are left facing the starkest of choices. As one attempt after another to defeat the aliens fails, the scientists come up with a final last-ditch weapon to destroy the enemy, but is it going to be too little too late?

The oil sands. Global warming. The National Energy Program. Though these seem like modern Canadian subjects, author Mary Janigan reveals them to be a legacy of longstanding regional rivalry. Something of a "Third Solitude" since entering Confederation, the West has long been overshadowed by Canada's other great national debate: but as the conflict over natural resources and their effect on climate change heats up, 150 years of antipathy are coming to a head. Janigan takes readers back to a pivotal moment in 1918, when Canada's western premiers descended on Ottawa determined to control their own future--and as Margaret MacMillan did in Paris 1919, she deftly illustrates how the results reverberate to this day.

Jealousy turns deadly in this chilling story from the author of Whatever Happened to Janie? As kids, Meghan, West, and Lannie played freeze tag—but with Lannie, nothing was normal. With one touch, she could turn anyone as cold as ice, a human statue frozen in time. Years later, they’re in high school and everyone remembers Lannie’s power as a silly childhood fantasy. But when Meghan and West become the perfect couple, Lannie intends to collect on a promise West made her all those years ago: If he doesn’t love her, she’ll freeze Meghan—and this time it will be forever. Known for her intense, emotional thrillers like The Face on the Milk Carton, Caroline B. Cooney once again delivers an addictive, spine-tingling tale of love gone wrong. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Caroline B. Cooney including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.
