The Ice Station (1998)

Sub-category: Action Adventure
The plot: Just before an intense solar flare destroys radio communication between Antartica and the world, a distress call from an American base slips though - asking for help as several men go missing upon discovery of a metal object buried in 100 million year old ice... The United States Marines, led by the enigmatic Lieutenant Shane Schofield head to secure the ice station until the American's can come and properly unearth the object. However, the US Marines weren't the only one who heard that message and Schofield finds himself defending the station from more than one foe...
Comment: As depressingly young as Matthew Reilly is, he set out to write stories with non-stop action and has more than succeeded! The Ice Station is an extremely well though out, well researched bit of action which to my count, let me come up for air on only three occasions. The only flaw in this nonstop thriller was Reilly constant use of italics to emphasise every key word or phrase that we might overlook in our hasty reading as the pace carries us along...
