Blurb from Goodreads:
Death
waits at the world's end.
Deep inside the Arctic circle, the US Coast Guard icebreaker Terra Nova batters its way through the frozen sea. One day, a gaunt figure skis out of the fog. The crew bring him aboard and give him medical treatment for prolonged exposure, malnutrition - and a gunshot wound.
The man has escaped from ice-bound research station two hundred miles south of the pole. And the tale he tells is one of secrets, insanity and death.

3/5 stars
Terra
Nova, a US Coast Guard icebreaker is making its way through the frozen sea of
the Arctic Circle when they come across a man on skis, a man who claims to be
the only survivor of a scientific research station - Zodiac Station.
Why did
Zodiac Station blow up?
Is Anderson telling the truth?
Are there any other
survivors?
This
book is essentially a whodunit set in the arctic.
We find
out parts of the story from different characters which was interesting as you
could try and piece together what had happened.
As
someone with a scientific background I found the science intriguing.
While I
wasn't gripped by the writing or plot I did want to find out what had happened.
Overall
this was a unique read that I enjoyed.
