An Arctic Spy Thriller Rooted in Reality

Many readers have asked about the inspiration behind Operation Polaris 2025. The truth is, the genesis of this thriller lies not just in a love for the genre, but in the very real and evolving geopolitical landscape of the region I call home: Northern Norway.

Living here, the shifts in global politics have become increasingly tangible. It's not just news on a screen; it's the reality we experience. We've seen firsthand the signs of heightened tensions – the unexplained damage to crucial underwater cables, the disruption of infrastructure at our local military airport, and the rising  presence of drones near sensitive areas.

Even local authorities are advising vigilance, and our government's increased preparedness recommendations reflect the changing environment. The broader geopolitical situation, coupled with a heightened awareness of suspicious activities, has created an atmosphere where hybrid threats feel more present than ever before.

As a general practitioner, I'm accustomed to seeking understanding and knowledge. My deep dive into the complexities of hybrid warfare coincided with a realization: the elements that make for a compelling spy thriller were no longer confined to fiction in our corner of the world.

Fueled by a desire to explore these realities in a narrative form – and perhaps a touch of frustration at not finding a book that truly captured this unique environment – I began writing. Operation Polaris 2025 is a direct result of observing and processing these events. It's a story where the suspense is heightened by its grounding in the very real shifts happening around us.

In Operation Polaris 2025, readers will be immersed in this contemporary landscape through the eyes of intelligence officer Ida Pettersen. Her mission to uncover a mole is just the beginning of a journey through the complexities of hybrid warfare in the High North. It's a narrative where the tension is palpable because it's born from real-world concerns.

I believe the themes explored in the novel – the blurring lines of modern conflict, the impact of global politics on local communities, and the human stories within high-stakes situations – will resonate with many. This book is not just a thriller; it's a reflection of the times we live in, viewed from a unique vantage point.

Thank you for your interest in the story behind the story. I look forward to sharing more about the world of Operation Polaris 2025 with you.
