  There’s already been one death by the time the authorities ask Fin to go undercover to investigate a company that is creating extensive environmental damage to the ocean, threatening an octopus nursery, a shark mating area, and the endangered green turtles, all causes dear to her heart. How can she say no? 
  It’s not until she’s on site that she realizes she’ll have to work with Liam and the team from his environmental remediation company. Working together will be awkward, but Fin is determined to do everything she can to stop the damage. 
  Then things get worse. The crew from the construction company, Kraken Industries, harass her right from the start. Dane says he can't watch Penny as he'd promised, and he sends her to stay on the dangerous island with Fin. 
  Meanwhile, Fin uncovers pieces of an ancient chess set made of solid gold. Is Kraken after the chess set, or are they really building the resort they've claimed? Or is there something else going on? 
  Disregarding the danger to herself, Fin continues her investigation even after things turn deadly. Will she be able to bring the monsters to justice or will the danger of working undercover prove too much for her to handle on her own?

  Eat to Climb - Nutrition for...

  Eat to Climb by Mina Leslie-Wujastyk is a comprehensive guide to nutrition for climbers. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, this book will help you cut through the noise of nutrition fads and make informed, confident decisions about fuelling your body. 
  The book is split into two sections – principles and methods. Principles explores the foundations of nutrition: energy intake, macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration and supplements. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how protein, fat and carbohydrates support training, performance and recovery along with insight into key vitamins and minerals, fluid intake requirements and ergogenic aids. 
  The methods section shows you how to apply these principles in real life, with a focus on flexibility and autonomy. Specific chapters look at crag nutrition, injury recovery, weight loss, intuitive eating and the specific needs of female climbers. 
  Throughout, you’ll find powerful insights from top climbers. From Shauna Coxsey’s honest account of her struggles with food as a young athlete, to Molly Thompson-Smith’s diligent approach to nutrition when injured, and Billy Ridal’s tactics for eating when he freed the Nose on El Cap, their stories bring the science to life. 
  Today’s climbers increasingly recognise that long-term performance isn’t built on calorie restriction or the chronic search for lightness. And as a community we can all be healthier, stronger and get more from our climbing as we learn to eat to climb.
