The plot idea is good but I had problems with the execution. Many times the descriptive narrative was overly done. Too many adverbs and adjectives. There were scenes of people dying that were simply overwritten. Once I'd read through what the people experienced breathing in the poisonous gas, I didn't need to read it 3 or 4 more times. Not only did these scenes not add to the story, they slowed it to a drag. I ended up fast-forwarding through those. And honestly, I had no vested interest in thes...more
Frozen Fire claims to be a "disaster thriller", and I picked it because I have a great love of cheesy disaster movies. I like action but dislike violence, and most disaster stories offer lots of the first without the second. Besides, it's fun to set my usual expectations of good science aside and enjoy watching oilmen save the Earth from an approaching asteroid or a ragtag group of heroes tunnel to the center of the planet to get its core spinning again!

I liked the science quite a bit but it was really odd that I read two books IN A ROW that mentioned the dangers of drilling for methane and I most certainly don't seek out eco-terrorist books! I really liked some of the characters; the main 3 were really well done but everyone else was terrifyingly cookie cutter. It actually threw me off while reading. I think I may have given this a 2.5 if that were available.
i was fortunate enough to win a prerelease copy of this book, many thanks to the people at goodreads for the opportunity :)
the plot here was relavent to today's current events and interesting enough to keep me reading without too many breaks. i did feel the ending was a bit hurried though. i thought it was pretty good though and would reccomend it to anyone interested in enviromental spy kinda stuff,

To be honest, I barely got past chapter five. I picked up this book and put it right down. I didn't come back to it for several weeks and but than I tried to read it again but had no interest to do so. While I am sure this book may be good, it moved too slowly for me and there was too much description going on. I just wanted to get on to the exciting part. Maybe some day when I have time, I might pick this book up again.

For my first taste of these authors, I found this to be very entertaining. The plot, inspired by a Clive Cussler story, is not only feasible but developed so that it becomes a page turner that is near impossible to put down.
A decent technological thriller.
It was ok
