About this listen

 At a remote ice station in Antarctica, a team of U.S. scientists has made an amazing discovery. They have found something buried deep within a 100-million-year-old layer of ice. Something made of metal. Led by enigmatic Lieutenant Shane Schofield, a team of crack United States Marines is sent to the station to secure this discovery for their country. They are a tight unit, tough and fearless. They would follow their leader into hell. They just did...©2002 Matthew Reilly (P)2002 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd.

Critic Reviews

"Some of the wildest and most sustained battles in an action thriller in a long time...non-stop action, lots of explosions--and a little bit of conspiracy." ( Chicago Tribune)

To much going on to start and I got frustrated - the middle got better more interesting with the characters - writing and descriptions were fantastic but this book was too far fetched for me - more James Bond & Jason Borne stories x

Hmmmmmm

Audio is choppy and skips.

Some of the science, technology and weapons in the story are woefully bad and misinformed.

Needs a better understanding of military tactics and communication to be remotely believable.

Luckily the book was free.

storytelling needs work

Enjoyed it, but the some of the action scenes tended to get a bit repetitive, like repeating the word hovercraft. I did finish it in a few days tho.

Worth a listen

This book was my first Matthew Rielly novel and it is an old favourite. However it does not translate well to the audiobook format.

The good and the bad

the narrator was great but he needs to mute his microphone when taking a breath and drinking, was rather off-putting. besides that, it's it was a bloody good book.

subtle and good

The story is good, the writing is terrible... but it was his second book, so we can forgive him :) I liked the characters and will be listening to the next book.
