Tourist Trap, a novel by North Pole resident and former Geophysical Institute researcher Sue Ann Bowling, was named best Fiction Book of the Year by Reader Views.

Bowling, who previously penned the GI's Alaska Science Forum in addition to her research in paleoclimate, began writing science fiction when she retired in 1998. Her first book, Homecoming, dealt with a slave boy's discovery that he was far more than he thought. Tourist Trap follows the same character, now a young adult named Roi, on a challenge journey on Falaron -- a planet terraformed from Pleistocene Earth complete with mammoths and sabertooth cats.

Tourist Trap is available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and the Alaskan Association of Authors. Electronic copies of the book are available for reviewers upon request.
