Publisher Description

The arctic night is endless. The fear is numbing. Screams freeze in the throat. Death arrives in shades of white. And cold-blooded murder seems right at home.

Conducting a strange and urgent experiment on the Arctic icefield, a team of scientists has planted sixty powerful explosive charges that will detonate at midnight. Before they can withdraw to the safety of their base camp, a shattering tidal wave breaks loose the ice on which they are working. Now they are hopelessly marooned on an iceberg during a violent winter storm. The bombs beneath them are buried irretrievably deep . . . and ticking. And they discover that one of them is an assassin with a mission of his own.

"Icebound by Dean Koontz: Another classic by Dean Koontz. It was the third selection for our book club, and actually it was my pick. A science team is working on a glacier in the Arctic to help stop droughts in the United States by planting bombs along the glacier. During a violent storm, part of the glacier broke off. The team is stuck on the iceberg with all of the bombs, that will be detonating in twelve hours. There's a Russian submarine intercepting their cries for help. Will the Russians help or hinder the team's attempts to get to safety? I had some trouble getting through the first part of the book. There were a lot of primary characters that I had to keep track of. I kept getting a lot of the guys on the team mixed up. And some of the scientific lingo gave me some trouble. But the last hundred pages were heart-pounding, and the last forty pages were incredible! I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. I still love you, Dean!"

    " This was an OK thriller; bad enough to be stuck on a polar icecap...no hope of rescue....but to have a psychopathic murderer with you...and a love triangle...too much! "

    " I got this book on CD and listened to it while doing housework etc. It was a pretty good Koontz book but not one of my favorites. I did appreciate the strong husband wife relationship in this book. That's something Koontz writes well. "

    " Good, quick, action-packed read. Not at all scary either which I like! I wish the psychotic killer had been a little better developed. This book would be a good beach read - fun, easy, and survival on the ice in the Arctic! "
