review 1: Action starts early and it is packed with intrigue and unexpect cold thrill. It is mostly related to oil drilling in the Arctic Ice Cap. The USA has a Ice Cap observation post that gets invaded by the Russians and taken hostage in a submarine. The hostages are rescued by Navy Seals and a NSA Agent. One of the hostages is held back and the NSA Agent is captured. They are take to a underwater station where they escape later on. The USA has two submarines in the are and ther is constant chater "Beneth the Arctic Ice Cap, 82degrees 34 minutes north; 177 degrees 26 minutes east 11:22hour GMT minus 12" I keeps going almost minute after minute with a narration of the action.
review 2: A lot about the movement of the Arctic cap. I really enjoyed the action, the ... morepremise was realistic, I loved his 'secret' government agency and loved the director of it. Wouldn't it be something if all this was possible?His characters are well drawn and realistic and what I really liked is you see bad guys as more than cardboard figures, he gives some insight into them.I hadn't read Steve's other Deep Black series, this was my first one. However this book stands alone just fine and he feeds you enough background as the story moves so you can fill in the blanks.The book is well paced, good build up of tension, good conflict. It was a good read, I'd recommend it. In fact I'm already reading another Deep Black and will be looking at his other books to add to my library. less
