Don, I know what you mean. The storyline becomes like a formula repeated over and over. There's a literary term for that, but I can't bring it to mind.

I kind of agree with that review. I haven't read the book he's referring to but this one is good but it's also not great at the same time.

It's an easy read but in the end it's not really that fulfilling because it seems like you've read this story a dozen times already in other novels and movies.

PS - You might check the Goodreads reviews of Terminal Freeze.
I found the following there:

On 03/03/09 Brooke rated it: 3 of 5 stars

Never read him, but here's his photo link:====>
Lincoln Child

I checked out his book _Deep Storm A Novel_ .

BELOW ARE QUOTES FROM TWO GOODREADS REVIEWS on the above webpage:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On 09/10/07 Adam Baker rated it: 3 of 5 stars
He said: "My first exposure to Lincoln Child's work. In this book, Child shows himself to be a man who researches and knows the subject matter that he's dealing with, a trait which usually entices and speaks worlds to me. It doesn't fail here."

On 04/28/09 Brenda said " I think I've read almost all of Clive Cussler's action hero-fantasy books with his character Dirk Pitt (don't laugh, that's his name). Lincoln Child is cut from the same cloth."

Don, let us know what you think.

This is my first Lincoln Child novel. Anyone else read his stuff?
