in his review of
“Zero Gravity”:

Will Morton’s “Glacier Castle” takes us to a world of eternal ice and snow--and one woman’s obsessive plan to save a doomed colony. In a story reminiscent of Moby Dick, Morton explores the fine line between genius and madness and the human drive to survive despite impossible odds.
A good read.
