Reviews

'It never slows down ... it is unlike any other new Australian novel.'
*The Daily Telegraph*

'The pace is frantic, the writing snappy, the research thorough.'
*The Weekend Australian*

Fans of Clive Cussler will enjoy this first novel by Australian author Reilly. Set in Antarctica, Ice Station pits a group of U.S. Marines against a host of unexpected adversaries. Buried deep in the ice, in a layer 100 million years old, is something that arouses the greed of governments around the globe. Their respective Special Forces units are unleashed in this inhospitable land in a race to claim the hidden treasure. The book moves along at a good pace, and as with all well-told military thrillers there are plenty of unexpected twists, turns, and betrayals. Reilly's characters are colorful and engaging, and his bad guys are more wrong-headed than evil. The laws of science are sometimes shunted aside to make way for improbable weaponry and impossible situations, but that's just part of the fun. Recommended for public libraries with large military fiction collections.ÄPatrick Wall, Univ. of South Carolina Lib., Spartanburg Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
