As the "Morning Rose" ploughs through wintry Arctic seas toward Bear Island, ship's doctor Christopher Marlowe is kept busy attending to the seasick passengers--a film unit being sent to make a film so secret that none of them knows much about it. As passengers and crew begin dying, he realizes that the "Morning Rose" has a murderer on board. Once on the island, Marlowe must contend against weather, terrain, and ruthless adversaries as events build to a brutal climax in the darkness of the Polar night.

Satellite television came to India as the representative of global capitalism in the early 1990s and crushed the governmental monopoly over broadcasting that had existed since independence. This work tells the story of satellite news that is also the story of India's encounter with the forces of globalism.
