Ice Station

UK Kirkus review

Reilly's massive thriller may find no room for subtlety of characterization, but delivers the requisite kinetic action and outrageous plotting necessary to keep the pages turning very quickly indeed. In a remote US ice station in Antarctica a remarkable discovery has been made by a cadre of scientists. Deep beneath the surface and encased in layers of ice, there is an object millions of years old. But it's made of metal, and defies scientific logic. Soon men are killing for this amazing discovery, with Reilly's tough protagonist Lieutenant Shane Schofield leading a crack team of US marines to make a play for the object in the teeth of other nations' murderous ploys. The object itself (which it would be cruel to name here) is the perfect fulcrum for all the exhilarating bloodletting that Reilly delivers with such panache. (Kirkus UK)
