Publisher Description
Troy Jensen could do it all: he conquered the Seven Summits, sailed solo around the world twice, and even fought a bull in a Mexican slum on a dare. So when word comes that a rogue wave has swept Troy off a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea and into a watery grave, his brother, Jack, doesn’t buy it.
Against his better judgment, Jack decides to quit his job as a Wall Street trader and head to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to investigate. Minutes after revealing his plan in his father’s New York City office, Jack is nearly run down in the street. He doesn’t think much of it at the time, but as he digs deeper into Troy’s disappearance, Jack unearths information about RED-CELL-SEVEN (RCS), a super-secret American intelligence group that has operated for forty years in almost total secrecy and with complete impunity—and its leaders intend to keep it that way at any cost.
An adrenaline-pumping tale of one man’s descent into a hellish underworld populated by terrorists, assassins, and very bad “good guys,” Arctic Fire explores the disturbing difference between doing what is good and doing what is right when it comes to protecting America from her greatest enemies.

"It was a fast read, suspenseful, a thriller. This was the first book I read by this author. Enjoyed the book, may read more of his books, although I did not like the ending. Could be a series, but a strange ending with many unanswered questions."
— Dottie (4 out of 5 stars)
Arctic Fire Listener Reviews
-
" This book had its moments and read pretty fast. The character development was a little weak, and with so many characters, at times it felt a little hard to follow who was who. Anyone who likes conspiracy stories will enjoy this book. "
— Dorrie, 2/14/2014 -
" This story was interesting. The body counts are huge. Arnold in his heyday couldn't slaughter so many. I originally rated this story a "2" star, but it deserves a "1" due to numerous victims and the ending. You wonder if the author is as schizophrenic and demented as his characters...Disappointed and unfulfilled. 1 of 10 stars. "

" I think it ended up kinda messed up for my taste I was really hoping good would prevail over evil. But it was a good read nonetheless! "
— Ivette, 1/16/2014 -
" I thought that this book was very good. It always was suspenseful and you continuously switched between characters. Also, does anybody know what happens to Jack after the end? "
— Gus, 1/7/2014 -
" Huge body count. Lots of mystery but I was caught off-guard by the cliffhanger ending. Didn't know this was part of a series. "

" I thought this novel was great.... until the end. It combines espionage, politics, murder,and even a love story. Despite a busy week I couldn't wait to crawl in bed and read it. "
— Kay, 11/21/2013 -
" typical spy/murder/fast paced book ... haven't read any for awhile and thought I'd try it as a "free read" through Prime ... have shared with Phil, the Clive Cussler fan will love it! "
— Anne, 10/29/2013 -
" kept me riveted. a few not so great passages but i liked story. if you watch deadliest catch youll recognize places and "the boys." "
— Pol, 10/29/2013 -
" If you weren't paranoid about shadow cells working for the government, you will be after reading this.... "
— Ellen, 10/19/2013 -
" Enjoyed the suspense but was unhappy about the unfinished ending. "
— Julie, 9/14/2013 -
" Not his best book, but not bad. Arctic Fire started out like the usual Frey book, but then things started happening just because they needed to happen. Jack (the main character) was a little too wishy-washy for me. "
— Annie, 8/29/2013 -
" If you like books about espionage this is a book for you. Bit or love story and surprising ending. "
— Beverly, 8/29/2013 -
" Switched from finance to politics good with an obvious set up for his next book....maybe. But I'm really not interested in books with cliff hangar endings too much like TV. "
— Michael, 8/18/2013 -
" Two brothers, one the 'Golden Boy,' one always feeling second best. This is a great 'adventure/espionage' read that would appeal to anyone wanting to see things larger than life and a little 'unbelievable'. Great characters, lots of action. "
— Dianne, 8/9/2013 -
" I liked this book until end. "
— Bird4416, 7/24/2013 -
" This book was just sitting on my kindle so I must have got it for free somewhere. It was between a 2 and a 3 but the book was a bit long winded at times and I found my interest waning. The book is decently written though, just couldn't get into it. "
— Jc, 7/17/2013 -
" Frey is a good writer and this book is a good story but so unrealistic. It is also a serial type book. "
— Burt, 6/20/2013 -
" Had an ending you had to interpret what really happened which is never a settling feeling for the reader. It also had lots of bad language. "
— Angela, 5/19/2013 -
" Was an interesting book...suspenseful....but the ending made it seem that Frey had become sick of writing the book. "
— Rich, 4/15/2013 -
" not usually into the spy books but this one was very good. it also sets up potential sequels "
— Daniel, 1/30/2013 -
" Very current premise for an underground spy cell who wield their "justice" in the name of patriotism. I lost count of the bodies. the first half was exciting and a page turner. The cliffhanger ending was disappointing and leaves the door wide open for a sequel. I am not sure I will read it. "
— Betty, 12/21/2012 -
" The book was entertaining and keep me wanting to read more. However, the plot was not very good and the ending was horrible. "
