The Ice Limit Series
The Ice Limit by Douglas Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Ice Limit is actually a location in the Antarctic Ocean where ice meets the open sea. Seasonal storms rage, and waves can reach 200 feet. On a remote, Antarctic island off the coast of southern Chile, an interstellar meteor is found – this ruby-colored rock landed 30,000 years ago. Early in book one, you’ll learn that this is not your average meteor.
The Ice Limit, book one, tells of a billionaire’s obsession to own the rock and the attempt to retrieve it for his museum. Book two, Beyond the Ice Limit, is the sequel that tells us the retrieval attempt had unknown and deadly consequences. Read both in sequence to glean the most from the story. Both stories are riveting page-turners, however two observations. One, Scott Brick is the better narrator. Two, although both stories are Sci-Fi, the second is … well, it requires stretching your imagination considerably more and rolling of eyes at times.
Both novels are Hachette Audiobooks written Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The Ice Limit is narrated by Scott Brick, close to 17 hours of listening, released in August 2010. Beyond the Ice Limit is narrated by David W. Collins, just over 10 hours of listening, released in May 2016.
Recommended for the Sci-Fi lover.
