Summary: To start off this book is a Military book. In the beginning a stress call has been sent from Wilkes Ice Station from the bottom of the globe, Antarctica. A military group called the United States Marine Corpse intercepts the call and send 15 of it's best men to head down there and find out what went down. The Captain of the Marines is none other than the incredible Shane Schofield. Once they head down there they find a group of French Scientist who have been studying a lost scientific discovery in Wilkes Ice Station. But what the Marine Corpse don't know is that a group of British Special Forces had also intercepted the call and once they get down to Wilkes Ice Station, it's a battle to find out what the scientist discovered and who gets to keep it. All chaos breaks in the station.
Personal Reaction: Just like before I hated reading books, would not touch one, would not read it. But once I picked up this book I thought it looked pretty good because I probably shouldn't but I do judge a book by it's cover. I thought it wouldn't be too bad... boy was I wrong, If you want fast paced action right from the get go, and I mean fast paced this book is the one to pick up. It hooks you in with high speed chases over a barren, cold wasteland, battles deep within Wilkes. This book has almost anything you could ask for in a Military book. It informs you on what military life is like what they do under pressure. It as well tells you what machinery they use when needed etc. If you want a book to read and need something that is fast paced right from the beginning I recommend this book!!!
