White Plague by James Abel
"In the remote, frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean, the high-powered and technically advanced submarine U.S.S. Montana is in peril. Adrift and in flames, the boat—and the entire crew—could
be lost. The only team close enough to get to them in time is led by
Marine doctor and bio-terror expert Joe Rush. With only thirty-six hours before the surviving crew perish, Joe and his team must race to rescue the Montana and ensure that the boat doesn’t fall into enemy hands. Because a
fast-approaching foreign submarine is already en route, and tensions may
explode. But that’s the least of their troubles. For the
surviving sailors are not alone on the sub. Something is trapped with
them. Something deadly lethal. Something that plagued mankind long ago,
when it devastated the entire world. And the crew of the Montana has unknowingly set it free. " publisherArk Storm by Linda Davies
"The Ark Storm is coming—a catastrophic weather event that will unleash
massive floods and wreak more damage on California than the feared “Big
One.” One man wants to profit from it. Another wants to harness it to
wage jihad on American soil. One woman stands in their way: Dr. Gwen
Boudain, a brave and brilliant meteorologist." publisherBlackmail Earth by Bill Evans
"The Morning Show’s star meteorologist, Jenna Withers, reports
on the blistering conditions of a nationwide drought every day. But
nothing this alluring young woman has ever experienced can prepare her
for the terrifying intersection of extreme weather and extreme politics. After Jenna receives a controversial appointment to a
special White House task force on geoengineering, she learns about a lot
more than the President’s desire to use technology to address global
warming. Through old contacts, Jenna hears that Muslim extremists in
the Maldives have begun to publicly blame the West for the rising seas
that imperil the tiny Pacific island nation. They are planning a
suicide bombing that could lead to a sudden and disastrous cooling of
the planet. Rick Birk, an aging, alcoholic colleague of
Jenna’s, is dispatched to report on the turmoil in the Maldives. To
his—and everyone else’s—shock, he becomes a central – and bizarre –
figure in the unfolding panic." publisherDon't Cry, Tai Lake by Qiu Xiaolong
"Chief Inspector Chen Cao of the Shanghai Police Department is offered a
bit of luxury by friends and supporters within the Party - a week's
vacation at a luxurious resort near Lake Tai, a week where he can relax,
and recover, undisturbed by outside demands or disruptions.
Unfortunately, the once beautiful Lake Tai, renowned for its clear
waters, is now covered by fetid algae, its waters polluted by toxic
runoff from local manufacturing plants. Then the director of one of the
manufacturing plants responsible for the pollution is murdered and the
leader of the local ecological group is the primary suspect of the local
police. Now Inspector Chen must tread carefully if he is to uncover the
truth behind the brutal murder and find a measure of justice for both
the victim and the accused." publisherIce Fire by David Lyons
"In this explosive debut thriller, a judge from the Louisiana bayou goes
up against a company on the verge of causing an ecological disaster. Cajun-born
Jock Boucher has overcome modest beginnings to assume the prestigious
position of U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
One of his first cases on the bench involves a scientist who has been
hiding in mortal fear for more than twenty years. The fugitive claims
that another judge accepted bribes and helped a relentless global energy
company steal his intellectual property: a way to recover energy from
below the subsea bed that could end America’s dependence on foreign oil.
Boucher takes on the company and its powerful founder, risking
not only his judicial career but his life. He follows a trail of cryptic
clues to the bottom of the ocean, and soon finds himself the target of
killers—and too far from the law to ever return. " publisher
