**Debut Author Publishes Climate Thriller Amid Record Heat**
*Former glaciologist's novel draws on real Arctic research for plot.*
NEW YORK -- Dr. Elena Vasquez, a former glaciologist with the National Science Foundation, released her debut novel "Melt Point" on Thursday.
The book, published by Horizon Press, weaves a thriller narrative around accelerating polar ice loss, incorporating data from Vasquez's fieldwork in Greenland and Svalbard. It arrives as global temperatures hit record highs this summer, according to NASA reports.
Vasquez left research in 2022 after two decades to focus on writing. "Melt Point" examines how scientists racing to document vanishing ice confront corporate interference and geopolitical tensions, she said.
The novel has secured distribution through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and independent bookstores nationwide. Early reviews from outlets like Kirkus highlight its blend of science and suspense, with one calling it "a wake-up call wrapped in a page-turner."
"Books like this bridge the gap between dry data and public urgency," said Mark Rivera, executive editor at Horizon Press.
"Melt Point" is available in hardcover for $27.99, ebook for $14.99 and audiobook narrated by Vasquez. The author will appear at the New York Public Library on Oct. 25 for a reading and Q&A.
