Rating: Summary: What You Would Expect Review: What a total disappointment. The descriptive narratives where too long and in some cases totally irrelevant. Awful terminology used to describe the operation of snowmobiles (snow bikes?). Also technical misses that aren't ever found in Clancy books. I would suggest better quality control if his name is going to be on the cover. Save your money.

Rating: Summary: Hey...It's A Good Book To Read To Cool Down A Hot Summer Day Review: Yep, it's not of the same caliber that we'd expect from Tom Clancey. Maybe the reason is because Tom Clancey didn't write it. It is, though, an entertaining book that doesn't take a lot of thought. Kind of like watching a James Bond movie...lot of thrill and action...not a lot of need for grey matter.This is the perfect book to take to the beach or summer get away. Since it take place in the cold depth of Antartica...it's a wonderful diversion from staring at an overheated thermometer measuring summer temperatures. Characters are minimally developed. Action is abundant. The story is just gripping enough to keep the reader interested. It'll never win a writing award...but then it probably wasn't intended to. A great book for light summer reading.
