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.

Favorite author ♥

I read the book years ago, and loved it, and still love it ! AMAZING

Great Book

I loved it, very exciting. Whens will someone make it into a movie. it would be great

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.

Story was entertaining, but author got too .....

For the most part I enjoyed, but parts became too much like a James Bond

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.

Rock and Roll

This is one of the most fast paced novels I have ever read. You start right off facing an Under Water Ice Mountain, Grizzly, then a plane crash in Alaska, Ice Motorcycles, Dogfight, Russian bad guys, Delta force, small subs, big subs, prehistoric monsters, cryogenics, mad scientists, U.S.A. bad guys, nuclear bomb, World War II, etc. If I have anything bad to say it is that over 15 hours of such fast pace action may be too much. You start to get a little numb. You can only be Wowed so much, but that is a small complaint. I enjoyed the first third and would give it five stars, the middle had science stuff I liked worth five stars, the last third was good, but got a little old with a few quickies to keep your interested, worth three and a half stars. It is well worth the money as a whole.
