Publisher's Summary

A group of 27 scientists and explorers are stranded in Antarctica.

Residing in a station known as Shackleton, they are studying the seismic activity of the region. An eruption of the nearby volcano, Mount Erebus, soon sends quakes throughout the continent with devastating results.

All radio communication has been disabled by the breakdown of the magnetic field. Evacuation is unlikely. No one knows whether they survived the icequake, and their station is now moving two kilometres north each day with the strong aftershocks. They are on their own, with limited food and resources.

Do they stay put and risk being caught in the next series of icequakes and avalanches? Or do they pack up and trek over dangerous territories to the neighbouring station?

Icequake is a gripping prophetic sci-fi disaster novel, full of excitement and danger in every chapter.

Accent sucks!

I was very much offended by the readers half ass attempt at a Kiwi accent. Dude, You sounded like a South African! You would of been more credible if you just read the story. That to me was distracting and took away from the story which could be very believable.

Scary to think this could really happen right now.

Good storyline with a lot of detail to help the reader form a picture of what was happening. The narrative was good, but some of the accents not so much.

Great book

Great book. I say this with love for the narrator, but his New Zealand and Australian accents sound like an American imitating a South African imitating a New Zealander. Still, great book and great performance.

Don't listen to this

Worst narrator I have ever had the misfortune to hear. I don't know what the story was about, however, the narrator's name will never be forgotten. TIM CAMPBELL... how on earth did he get this gig? Probably did not give an audition.

One Star

I may read the book one day, but the horrible accent of the Aussies and New Zealanders were cringeworthy. I’m from South Africa and the accent was not even close. The performer ruined the book. I’m returning the it.

Can we please get the accents right!

Honestly if you are going to sell an audio book to Australians and New Zealanders about Australians and New Zealanders can you at least get the accent right!!! The Aussies sounded like the Beetles (Liverpudlian) and the Kiwis had a South African accent. I know you Americans think your perfect but for this I give a big fat 1 star. The overall story was good and would read this authors works again.
