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.

Just OK Story/Performance Weak

This tale definitely follows the Rollins storyline format. BUT, the well developed and likable/hatable characters (both human and dog) can’t save the mediocre story, unlikely politics and stretched science. Rollin’s requisite storyline beasties, the Grendels, were awesome.

John Meagher did not have the voice appropriate for an adult adventure yarn. I have heard some of his teen oriented readings, where he was perfect... but not for a Rollins reading.

I want more Tucker and Kane tales !

Monsters come in many shapes.

who's a monster? USSR or USA? both. WHAT is the other monster? I'm not a big fan of military stories but this book has many twists and I enjoy this author's books.
I laughed out loud in many occasions.
You will not be disappointed by this book.

Entertaining Story

Elaborate story with military intrigue and monsters thrown in the mix. A bit far fetched but that’s to be expected for a book like this.

Great read

As with all of this authors novels, it is filled with action and adventure lots of science and there’s always an animal in the story. I highly recommend it.

Excellent! A real page turner

I really enjoyed this one. It was intense, believable and mixed with family ties and love. It is blended together beautifully. The end of the book even has authors notes outlining some of his research and how he put things together. I definitely recommend it!

everyone is a child seeking a companion

This novel touched on many subjects do the one I was most interested in was the bounds people hope to from with someone even from childhood. There were many chacthers who felt loss because of this and toke it out on the world because they didn't have someone to pull them back from brink of sorrow. It showin with the Russian admiral who lost his parents but a simple child saved his soul in end. This was a truly wonderful novel and I hope everyone finds someone with they can open up truly too one day.

Left me in the cold

A Ho Hum book. Not good but not bad enough to return. James Rollins has written far better books. It's like he was under pressure to write something and this was the result.

Great story poor narrator

A great Rollins story I hadn't read yet. The narrator leaves a lot to be desired. Mispronounced words and poor performance overall he really takes away from the experience. Too bad, as mush as I enjoy listening to books I wish i was reading this one because of it.,

The Missing White Hulk of The Artic

James Rollins never fails to impress me with his fantastic imagination in writing a high octane thriller with great characters and surprise twists and turns. I also like the end when he the true facts and the fictitious conjuring to come up with this great tale. I'm a loyal fan of j. Rollins.
I have and read about 12 of his books. It's nice to hear the stories again being read aloud.
