Rex Ryder and the Arctic Ghost Ship

Forty years ago, the research ship Halcyon vanished without a trace. The Arctic just gave her back.

Thirteen-year-old Rex Ryder joins an Arctic research expedition expecting freezing temperatures, endless ice, and maybe a little boredom.

Then the team finds the ship.

Locked deep in the ice, abandoned and intact, the Halcyon is one of history's great unsolved mysteries. Why was she deserted? What happened to her crew? And why does it feel as though the answers have been waiting all this time for someone to come looking?

With world-renowned explorer Dr. Callum Frost and an international team of scientists, Rex must cross shifting sea ice, towering pressure ridges and hidden crevasses to reach the wreck before the Arctic takes her back for good.

But every discovery aboard the Halcyon leads to another question - and the truth beneath the ice is stranger than anyone imagined.
