    <body><![CDATA[I am somewhat biased because I am a huge Preston / Child fan. Their prose really resonates with me and I enjoy the experience of reading their words. <br/><br/>This book was not my favorite of their works. The exploration of the arctic and the assembly of the documentary crew, the scientists, the military and the Tunit shaman made for an interesting cast of characters. I read this book more quickly than many other thrilers that I read and this is a huge gauge for me as to how much I enjoy a book. As much as I love Child's writing, something about this story left me wanting more. The technology and the history of the military base made interesting backstory, but in the end the work felt a little too predictable (which is my only real criticism.)<br/><br/>As always Child delivered an interesting villian, which kept me turning pages to discover its origin and how it could possibly be defeated.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book for thriller lovers and especially Preston / Child fans.<br/><br/>CJ<br/>]]></body>
