The Author Does It Again!
Yes...the author shamelessly plugs another of his books, again! He also writes another adventure filled thriller!
This time the Americans and the Russians are onboard the alien vessel, and they have come to kick alien but...not!
Despite American and Russian soldiers onboard, the alien monsters are killing and eating their selves to their hearts content.
The Americans and Russians, and British are hoping to salvage alien technology, and of course their weapons. With the kind of animals on this ark, powerful weapons are what’s needed.
With help from some of the survivors of the first book, the Americans are helped in finding the weapons, but will they make it off the ship alive?

Finished this mess of a novel.
Forced myself to persevere to the end.
Some of the characters from the first novel made another appearance and I still wanted them to die horribly.
Everyone else met a grisly and gory demise though.
Only read this if you have no food labels or phone books at your disposal.

The first and this second book of Ice Rift was very good. He writes with the excitement of James Rollins, and Michael Crichton. An excellent book of ups and downs and wondering if they will get out of their situations alive. The monsters were unique and scary. It keeps you reading not wanting to stop.

THE ARK FROM HELL IT IS......
Hello, this is one heck of a story. These alien folks had some different taste in pets or wildlife conservation than most regular folks. Great story and great job. Thanks.

First book was a fun survival joyride, second book was a character dump slasher flick gone awry. Too many characters to care whether they live or die, monsters weren’t as imaginative as the first book.

A terrible book
What a waste of time. I managed to get to page 62 before I decided to quit wasting my time.

A fun second book that picks up right where the first left off. The carnage on the ice continues as several original characters are drawn back into the fray. I will be getting the 3rd book.

Monsters, monsters and more monsters
First thing, you really do need to read the first book in this set ICE RIFT if you want to get the full enjoyment from ICE RIFT - SALVAGE.
This is a well-edited and proofread book. I had problems with that the first time I read ICE RIFT but I have re-read it and it's been updated. This one is fine first time around.
Characters from the first story are back along with a cast of new characters (and monsters). The Americans and the British are working together to go back aboard the alien spaceship and get all the alien technology they can before the ice entombed airship sinks to the bottom of the ocean. And the Russians aren't far behind, wanting their share of the spoils.
I felt this book could have been shortened by quite a bit. I know it's hard to believe but monster after monster after monster can get a bit tiresome.
But this was a fun, gory action adventure and a good follow-up to the first book.

If you thought Ice Rift was fast-paced and action-packed, wait till you get a load of this sequel. The crashed alien vessel remains buried beneath the ice of Antarctica, but its position is unstable. If the competing governments don't act quickly, it could sink into the freezing ocean and be lost forever. No way are they going to lose this opportunity to salvage alien tech. To help them, they convince/ bribe/ coerce the various survivors of the first expedition into returning. Author Ben Hammot finds ways to send all the escapees from Book One back into the nightmare. Plus, we also follow the survival plight of one of the original team members who didn't make it out. And let me tell you, Ripley ain't got nothing on this gal.
The story is essentially one long, sustained action sequence, punctuated by snappy character beats and enough researched facts to lend the various operations an air of credibility. It blends elements of shoot-'em-up action, haunted house horror, and features more alien monsters than I think I've ever seen assembled in one book. It's bigger, faster and more action-packed than Book One. The only thing missing from the previous story is the mysterious shape-shifter alien, whose POV was my favourite part. It also provided the twist ending. We do get a substitute, though, which I won't spoil. Survival is the goal here, and every creature, whether human or alien, has to fight to get out.
I'd recommend reading Ice Rift first. That introduction to the alien ship and its various environments will give context to the events that unfold here. And it you like that story, you will certainly enjoy this one.

Uncaged Book Reviews:
Well damn, we are back on that ship. This time out, NASA is bringing in the military to help them salvage the technology from the ship, before it sinks into the ocean forever. And guess what, those monsters are still onboard. Jane and Jack are coaxed back, Richard is given no alternative and Lucy is still stuck on the ship. But for reasons different for each of them, they are all back at the rift.
This is an action packed story, some parts may seem a bit overly explained, but it’s really well written. You really need to read the first one in this series, Ice Rift, to get the full impact of these books. Many things are not explained in book two that are brought over from book one, so I would really not consider this a standalone. But if you like a good SciFi Thriller, these books are a great choice. This story could continue…there is always EV1L.

A great sequel to the Ice Rift. The armed forces are sent into salvage alien technology in the trapped spaceship. Bad things are plentiful and so is the action. All the characters from the first book end up on the ship through one way or another. Great page turner is you like this genre. Not sure, but there could be a spin-off or trilogy. Doesn't matter, Mr. Hammott is on my "must read list". Thanks for the entertainment.

It's one of those books filled with action and adventure that doesn't stop. The second book is as good as the first. Looking forward to the 3rd book.
