Ice Hunt by James Rollins
4.0
Riveting ice adventure!
3.5⭐
So much to love, cold climate setting (Northern Alaska, and the Arctic), creepy top-secret research lab, a cool retired search & rescue dog name Bane, and lots of likable characters and evil villains (there's a helpful list of characters).
A reporter Craig Teague is on his way to do research on a secret experimental lab when his plane was shot down, the pilot died and Craig is rescued by a Fish and Game Warden Matthew Pike. Whoever shot Craig's rent a plane pursued the two on foot. Matt took Craig to his ex-wife's cabin nearby. Jennifer Aratuk is a native and also a sheriff, she and her father John helped them escape north in her plane.
Dr. Amanda Reynolds is on an American research vessel mapping icebergs when she comes across a drifting ice facility with a WW2 Russian submarine docking at the bottom. Using her instruments, she was able to see the multi-level structure and some kind of movement inside, but this lab is said to be abandoned for almost half a century...
Ooh, it's good! It was also a bit too long and too much detail. I wish the storytelling is concise after halfway mark as I was losing patience and wanted to know the ending! I borrowed the audiobook from Hoopla. It was a decent production, a little dated so the quality isn't too great especially if you play it out loud. I also borrowed a Kindle book to read along.
