An Argentinian from Buenos Aires, Christian Pereira, sails in Antarctica. It is the end of February and other sailors are heading home as winter approaches the continent. One sleepless night he picks up a book that he has found in his attic at home. Browsing through the text about the Western Himalayas, his eyes get fixed on the mysterious death of a British explorer and spy who was sent out by the British to influence a commercial treaty by which the entire Central Asia would open for trade. He later identifies a connection between the man and his great grandfather. Knowing the truth turns into an obsession. The Antarctic landscape slowly starts to influence Christian. Sneaking into a research station in search for food one night, he accidently runs into Fyodor, an unpredictable Russian scientist with a mysterious past who forces Christian to give him a lift on his boat to complete his secret scientific study. This is only the beginning of a journey that turns out to be Christian's biggest challenge yet. StormCatcher is a Thriller of a journey that leaves the reader breathless.

Notă biografică

Linda Eketoft started to write fiction during Law School in Sweden, after living in Paris where she studied Philosophy at the Sorbonne; creating poetry in her spare time. She arrived in London to complete her Masters in Law, before starting working in city. It was not till after having lived in Sydney for a year and returning to London she decided to publish her first book, 'Centralen'. Her extensive travels in Europe, South America and Antarctica in combination with mountaineering in the Himalayas and Karakoram and her infallible passion for the arts - have laid the foundation for experiences she uses in her writing. Eketoft is fast creating a reputation for being hard-to-place in terms of literary style. Her debut is stylistically very unique from other contemporary writers', and has initially been branded surrealist, magic-realist, and gothic to mention a few. The shared view among readers in terms of theme however is that Eketoft seems to deal with the borderland between individual perception and universal reality that emerge from intriguing encounters and situations.
