Ice Station by
Matthew Reilly
Pan Macmillan,
Sydney 1998
Talk about action packed!
This is a thick book (611
pages) but most of the story
covers little more than 24
hours!
A crack unit of marines
happens to be close to
Antarctica when their is a
distress call from an
American base. So Shane
Schofield (nickname
Scarecrow) leads his team in
to help the scientists and
child at the base.
There are fights against
soldiers, killer whales and
Antarctica itself that kept
me riveted to this book, and
the twists and turns (of
characters as well as the
plot) kept me guessing.
Reilly has included
suspense, intrigue,
betrayal, action, adventure,
hope and humanity, along
with claims of conspiracy
and aliens!
Overall, a good entertaining
read, where you can't be
sure who will survive and
who won't (not all the good
guys do.) I'm looking
forward to another Reilly
book myself...
