Publisher's summary

Carved into a moving island of ice twice the size of the United States, Ice Station Grendel has been abandoned for more than 70 years. The twisted brainchild of the finest minds of the former Soviet Union, it was designed to be inaccessible and virtually invisible. But an American undersea research vessel has inadvertently pulled too close - and something has been sighted moving inside the allegedly deserted facility, something whose survival defies every natural law.

And now, as scientists, soldiers, intelligence operatives, and unsuspecting civilians are drawn into Grendel's lethal vortex, the most extreme measures possible will be undertaken to protect its dark mysteries - because the terrible truths locked behind submerged walls of ice and steel could end human life on Earth.

Nazy, conspiracy frozen sci-fi

If you enjoyed this one, read AG Riddle series about buried Nazi stuff in Antarctica and suspended people. Good read

Outstanding

Fantastic writing, fantastic narration, fantastic story! Rollins never disappoints me. My only regret is that we may never revisit these characters. Aside from my man, Kowalsky!

Good book, great reader

I have just recently gotten into audio books to make my long commute bearable. The subject of this book was enjoyable, the plot was just twisty enough, the characters were interesting.

But what really kept me listening was the reader. The quality of Mr. Meagher's voice got this Audible recording its 4th star. I will look for his readings in the future.

Meh

This was my first James Rollins book and it was okay. Reminded me of Lincoln and Child Pendergast stories - many times you have to suspend belief because the key premise is based on something pretty far out there. That said, it didn't grab me as something very different than most of the other books in this space. But I was entertained enough to finish it; probably not enough to get another Rollins book though.

Good mix of adventure and sci-fi

A good late night listen. An original story for sure. A little convoluted at times once all the characters get involved. I did have a few of those "wait...who?" moments . I will be looking into more books from this author.
