Polarsturm - Arctic Storm Rising: Thriller (Nick Flynn 1)

The icy setting and military tech felt very authentic. I wonder if the author has personal experience or research that shaped this vivid portrayal.

The international conflicts and military maneuvers felt so high-stakes — is this based on real tensions or creative exaggeration?

The military strategies and tech descriptions added depth, but I was curious whether that was a conscious choice to serve the story or a natural part of the writing process.
