An edition of No One Thinks of Greenland (2001)

No one thinks of Greenland

1st ed.

""You'll want to scratch." These spoken words introduce us to the strange and beguiling world of young Rudy Spruance, forced to join the military due to a mysterious past, and sent for some unexplainable reason to a top-secret military hospital in Greenland.

There he meets a wide cast of unusual and colorful characters, outcasts and rejects all, begins to fall for the commanding officer's leggy and strong-willed girlfriend, and slowly uncovers the awful secret behind the portion of the base dubbed "the Wing." He has been assigned to start a base newspaper - to tell the stories of the men and women of Qangattarsa, Greenland - but when Rudy probes too far, when he asks the wrong questions of the wrong people, strange things begin to happen.".

"This is a world where glaciers crouch on the horizon, icebergs float along the bay, and polar bears must be chased away from the base's dump.

It is also a place where conflicting forces intersect, where history, so long held at bay, begins to encroach, and a place that in several months' time will be submerged in an endless night, affectionately termed "the Stark Raving Dark." What begins as a harmless exploration turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse adventure, and Rudy must finally uncover the truths of the base, rescue the people he loves, and somehow escape the arctic alive."--BOOK JACKET.
