Publisher's summary

When a plane crashes into the Antarctic ice, exposing a massive cave beneath, a rescue and research team is dispatched. Twenty-four hours later, all contact is lost. Captain Alex Hunter and his highly trained squad of commandos are fast tracked to the hot zone to find out what went wrong - and to follow up the detection of a vast underground reservoir. Accompanying the team is an assortment of researchers, including petrobiologist Aimee Weir. If the unidentified substance proves to be an energy source, every country in the world will want to know about it - some would even kill for it. Once inserted into the cave system, they don't find any survivors - not even a trace of their bodies. Primeval hieroglyphs hint at an ancient civilisation, and an ancient danger. Spectres of the dead haunt the tunnels. Within hours, one of the party will die. To bring his team out alive, Alex will need every one of his mysterious abilities beneath the dark ice.

Pretty darn good!

I enjoyed this story more than I had planned. The story is 2000 Leagues meets Sigma Force and a little Temperance Brennan to round it out.

meh, entertaining

entertaining book if a tad amateurish, must characters are cookie cutter from almost every action movie you have ever seen, that said, I'll download and listen to the rest if the series.

Listened to this in one day!

What did you love best about Beneath the Dark Ice?

Good character development. Great action throughout the story.

Any additional comments?

I know it's a good book when I can't stop reading/ listening to it. Started during breakfast, put ear buds in while vacuuming, and when I found myself still listening as I was making supper, I knew I had found a good one. Now I realize there are 3 more in this series! Wish I could take a vacation and get caught up.

What a great novel to listen to while traveling.

The characters are perfect for this novel, you learn to love and respect the ones that you should and you learn to want the annoying ones bed and antagonist just as you should. What a fun listen and I'm sure a wonderful read..... I don't know if speak to text is the best way to Freeport your analysis of a book. I think my phone sucks!

Outstanding!!!

Fascinating read. Characters were well developed. The storyline was easy to follow and I found it hard to stop listening. Full of suspense and the descriptions were so thorough that I felt like I was there. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and I will look for other titles by Greig Beck.

a surprising read.

I was surprised by how much I really enjoyed this one. it's your typical action, army, suspense type book but with a lot of cool science fiction blended in and some decent enough characters. even a couple of good laughs. it ain't Hemingway but it is entertaining.

Haters don’t get it. It’s a great story

Hi! I read a bunch of reviews of this book and almost didn’t get it. I’m glad I ignored them.

If you liked Michael Crichton’s books (and who in their right mind doesn’t) you will like this one.

Good science, great action, great struggle and conclusion. I want to read more about these characters. I recommend it totally. Ignore the haters...
