I wanted something simple for holidays, and I got it. Spies, danger, deaths, mysteries in Arctic Ice, its a Boy's Own / Alastair MacLean tribute. Each chapter puts in a twist to a story which is plausible (at a stretch) up till the end. Still, in spite of my reservations, I enjoyed returning to my teenage reading self for a few hours.

The classic English country house mystery, except instead of the gentry in the heart of England, it's scientists at a research station in the dangerously cold Arctic, plus polar bears and Russians. Unfortunately, by the end we are in an isolated underground bunker with the bad guy who spends pages explaining lots of things we didn't know. Three stars for the setting and the setup, one star for the way it all plays out.

This was a great fast read. I didn't figure out the mystery until the very end! I'm excited to read some more of his work.

Underwhelmed by this one. I don’t think science fiction is my kind of genre and I didn’t realise it would be that kind of book until it was too late. I liked the thriller aspects and I didn’t like the ending. Was okay overall.

OK Arctic adventure - not necessarily formulaic, but pretty much what you would expect. Still, an enjoyable read.

this science fiction novel takes place in the arctic ocean on a frozen island. Okay, this island does not really exist, but the creatures of the arctic do and many people are engaged in scientific research. This is a story about things that can go wrong when ethics in research are violated.
