Icefire (novel)

"Icefire" (1998) is a novel written by Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens.

It is a science fiction novel about using the Ross Ice Shelf to create a Soliton wave, which is much more powerful than tsunamis caused by water displacement. The size of France, the Ross Ice Shelf is broken off its Ice Cap with tactical nuclear weapons and then driven down into the ocean with a nuclear weapon high above it.

The book follows the attempts by their main characters to tell the world what happened, find out how to stop it and find out who set it in motion.
