Masterfully paced and wondrously prescient, here is a cautionary tale where colorful characters battle both man and nature to save the planet from a combination of the two. Equal parts Clive Cussler and Michael Crichton, The Greenland Breach is a terrific story that charges out of the gate and speeds in relentless fashion to a wholly satisfying finish. --Jon Land, bestselling author of Strong Rain Falling This book is rather like one of these slightly more upmarket chocolates. It has a thick outer layer and something completely different as a filling. As to the wrapping, it's always interesting to watch the wheel turn... The Greenland Breach is a novel of considerable flair and panache which starts with a major environmental event and then skillfully switches focus to the ravages of human greed as plots are laid and manipulations executed (in every sense of the word). With this combination of flavors, the novel hits the sweet spot of enjoyment. --Thinking about Books Original and harrowing. -Cosmopolitan Billed as a Cli-fi thriller, this is cousin to thoughtful works such as Buckell's Arctic Rising, but the narrative's tone and tendency toward grand spectacle resembles more lurid thrillers like The Day After Tomorrow. . Besson constructs a complex plot and confidently portrays the grandiosity as it unfolds. Publishers Weekly Buckle up tightly, you are in for a roller coaster of an exciting read. -Finding Time to Write blog Everything about The Greenland Breach is on a grand scale--global powers playing with global stakes, quite literally... A thrilling scenario of potential disaster on the grandest scale, modern escapist fiction that entertains while cautioning readers. -Book Lover Book Reviews This is a remarkable book that is fascinating, frightening, instructive and fun all at once. -Inter-Ligere Suspen Author InformationAuthor: Bernard Besson, who was born in Lyon, France, in 1949, is a former top-level chief of staff of the French intelligence services, an eminent specialist in economic intelligence and Honorary General Controller of the French National Police.
