The Icemen: A Novel of Antarctica Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Publisher's Weekly blurb above gives a fair description of this book. On the downside, you have the pretty implausible scenario of a Nazi colony on the Antarctic ice. And they're in cahoots with Middle East terrorists, if that makes things any more believable. You have a bunch of US Navy personnel who don't quite act and react the way professional military people do. And the pace does drag a bit.
But hey, it's not all that bad. The pace picks up towards the middle, and after you suspend disbelief, the story if pretty interesting. Some of the characters lean towards cartoonish, but others are pretty well drawn. There's a bit of humour to liven things up, and some interesting descriptions of Antarctic life.
I wouldn't buy this new, but get it in the library for a lazy afternoon's reading. Morris is no Clancy or Cussler, but he does a decent job here.
