This wasn’t bad. In fact, it was much more interesting and compelling than the cover blurb makes it seem.
From the inside cover:
“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 the coastal ice shelf. Something trapped inside a 100-million-year-old layer of ice.
“Something made of metal.
“A team of divers is sent under the ice shelf to investigate. What they find is potentially the greatest discovery in the history of mankind. It is the discovery of a lifetime. A discovery of immeasurable value. A discovery that nations would kill for…
“But then in the space of a few minutes the divers are suddenly and brutally killed. Contact with the station is lost. The only clue to what happened is a frantic distress signal sent out on an open frequency.
“The race is on…
“Led by enigmatic Lieutenant Shane Schofield, a team of Marines is rushed to the station to secure this discovery for the United States. They are a tight unit, tough and fearless. They would follow their leader into hell. They just did.
“In a land without boundaries, the only law is survival.
“More explosive than Die Hard and faster than Speed, Ice Station is the most breathtaking action-thriller you will read this year—it won’t just thrust you into the back of your chair, it will literally leave you gasping.”
