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.

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)
The book is enjoyable, narration is crisp. Character as well as story build-up is progressive and clear. I liked the story-within-story approach. Empathy towards the protagonist(s) is also built up quite well. No loose ends that I could detect.

However, lacked the wit and balance in pace I expect from skillful storytelling. Non-stop blinding action (which require less thinking and more following) rendered it difficult for me to keep up sometimes, as I like to listen to my books hours on end. Impossible scenarios are brought to life, which make me lose interest more often during the listen than I would like.

All in all, a different but interesting read and I liked it. Will definitely try out the other books from the series. My thanks to Matthew, Sean and Audible.

Enjoyed it just fine. However,....
