The Second Horizon
Where the Permafrost Keeps Its Secrets
The data should have changed the world.
Instead, it may have been deliberately corrupted.
Sarah Koch-Brumiere, Pauline Koch-Brumiere, and their brilliant young daughter Julia have been chosen to deliver the opening keynote at the Global Climate Summit in Barcelona. It will be the most important presentation in the history of their Berlin institute-and perhaps the clearest warning humanity has ever received about the rapidly intensifying connection between the planet's polar systems.
But as the team prepares for the international stage, Julia discovers disturbing discontinuities in data transmitted from a network of quantum sensors near the Laptev Sea. The readings appear to show failures across the Arctic system. Yet the pattern is too precise to be random, too deliberate to be dismissed as technical noise.
To find the truth, the three presidents lead an expedition to Tiksi, at the edge of one of the largest and most dangerous permafrost regions on Earth.
There, beneath relentless Arctic light and temperatures capable of killing within minutes, the scientists travel deep into the frozen tundra to inspect the remote sensor fields themselves. What they find should reassure them: the instruments are functioning perfectly.
Then their transport disappears.
Stranded far from shelter, surrounded by an immense white landscape, Sarah, Pauline, Julia, and their closest allies must survive long enough to understand what has happened. Because if the sensors are not failing, someone has altered the data elsewhere-and the expedition may have been designed not merely to mislead them, but to ensure that they never return to Berlin.
As the institute confronts the possibility of betrayal from within, Sarah must determine who can still be trusted before the conspiracy reaches Barcelona and corrupts more than a scientific presentation.
It could corrupt the world's understanding of the climate crisis itself.
The Second Horizon is an intelligent, emotionally charged climate thriller about scientific integrity, institutional betrayal, family, leadership, and three extraordinary women who refuse to surrender the truth-even at the edge of the frozen world.

Acerca del autor
About the Author: Anton Faber was raised in Berlin and began his academic journey in German literature before pivoting to physics at the University of Bonn. During his university years, he became deeply involved in environmental and human rights protests-an experience that shaped his worldview and storytelling. With two decades of experience as an investigative journalist, Faber now channels his expertise into writing gripping eco-thrillers. His novels skillfully blend environmental science with emotional depth, often unfolding through high stakes expeditions in remote, natural settings. Faber's work is driven by scientific curiosity and a deep commitment to the planet. He weaves real research on climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecological restoration into compelling fiction that challenges readers to confront the pressing issues of our time.
