"This book was recommended to me by a fellow avid reader, and it is very good. A good page turner with a twisted story. Anyone who likes a good thriller will enjoy this. I only held back a star because the next book in the series pales all the rest. "
— SJuhl4 (4 out of 5 stars)
“This is a big-boned thriller, one that will make a terrific summer movie as well as a memorable hot-day read.”
— Publishers Weekly“This natural thriller is not to be missed.”
— School Library Journal“Full of cliff-hanging surprises and unexpected twists...If nonstop thrills and a genuinely satisfying adventure are what you’re after, then look no further.”
— Providence Sunday Journal“An ultra action-packed adventure that will thrill with its non-stop action. Preston and Child put the pedal to the metal…A real kicker.”
— Midwest Book Review“Compelling…Riddled with subplots, treachery, and betrayal…Packs a series of surprise wallops.”
— Toronto Star“Like Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s earlier collaborations, The Ice Limit tools along swiftly, blending nicely drawn characters, an…exciting narrative, and enough graspable science…to bring readers happily up to speed.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review" Loved this book. My feet and hands are cold. It was scary because it could be real. The characters are so well thought out and the story line from the previous books fit perfectly into this wonderful story. "
— Linda, 12/14/2019" Amazing story about billionaire scientists and what they will do in order to grow the worlds knowledge of possibilities of happenings in our universe throughout millions of years. Lots of action and hardship round out this entertaing story. "
— Dennis, 8/5/2018" I was pleasantly surprised at how strongly this book captured and held my attention. Unique plot and the characters were amazing built. Suspenseful and full of surprises. I especially enjoyed Eli's character. "
— Randall, 2/20/2014" If Glinn were all that organized, wouldn't he have made arrangements for someone else to have the code? "
— Kathleen, 2/14/2014" The Ice Limit didn't grab me as quickly as Preston & Child's other books. Took about 100 pages to really get into it. However, once it got rolling, I had a hard time putting it down (like all P&C thrillers). "
— Mitch, 2/13/2014" It was a solid read for the holiday season, with adequate amount of suspense, thrill, poignance and mystery mixed with technology and "what if...." in general, and a good specimen of techno-thrillers from Preston & Child. The story involves the efforts made by a group of people (sponsored by a megalomaniac millionaire) to retrieve a mysterious piece of rock, and what happens to the gropu as well as the ..er... rock. However, after the standards set by "Relic" and "Reliquary" by the same set of authors, I was compelled to give ony 3 stars to the book in question. I hope that their subsequent efforts would be better, and closer to the standards of "Relic". "
— Riju, 2/8/2014" moves very slow. Not worth the time it took to read it!!! "
— Jerald, 2/2/2014" Decent listen, but not nearly as good as Relic. Predictable at times. "
— Rebel, 1/25/2014" So far, this is the Preston and Child I have enjoyed the least,it was kind of boring and depressing.I usually am a fan and was disappointed by this one. "
— Virginie, 1/19/2014" Interesting, though many of the nautical situations went a bit over my head. Took a bit to get going, though it was tense enough to keep me interested. Overall, exemplary research, and good characters. Kept me guessing. "
— April, 1/6/2014" Pretty decent thrill-flick. Could be a more dynamic with the begining but the set of characters was interesting enough. Plus a healthy helping of action and a mystery. "
— Jakub, 12/24/2013" Only one of the Preston/Child books I have read twice. The thriller plot is straighforward without a lot of science mumbo-jumbo and the characters aren't unbelievably heroic (i.e. Dirk Pitt). "
— Patrick, 12/16/2013" Close to a 4 star... but for the ending. I can't believe they didn't initally intend on writing a sequel! "
— Bianca, 12/3/2013" Excellent book high sea adventure close to Antarticia "
— David, 12/1/2013" The authors like to use the word jury rigged. Which I always thought it was jerry rigged. You learn something new everyday. But, seriously, this word is used a lot throughout the book. "
— Rebecca, 11/16/2013" Really... that was the end??? "
— Daniel, 11/11/2013" Definately one of the worst books by these two. Ok, by most people's standards, but not as good as their normal work. "
— Stacey, 10/5/2013" One of my all time favorites! "
— Frances, 8/18/2013" The ending was a bit abrupt. Guess I'd better check out the "webilogue" on the authors' website. "
— Cori, 1/22/2013" Prologue seems interesting.. let's see what the innards hold "
— Sandeep, 10/3/2012" I think they phoned this one in ,,, maybe with the help of a tech writer. Scott Brick's must have been channeling Capt Kirk when he recorded it. "
— Kathy, 9/19/2012" Not as good as the other books... "
— Renef, 7/9/2012" I liked it very much. Good setting and characters. "
— Phil, 7/4/2012" great book but leaves you hanging come on guys were the sequal "
— Thomas, 6/23/2012" Another thriller from Douglas Preston and Linclon Child. The hunt for the largest inter-stellar meteor and the consequences when trying to brng it back to museum. "
— Bob, 1/7/2012" This was on Trenton's Book Club list and I really did try to read it....it was not well written and the plot was one I could not get into. It was about a murder mystery of 100 years where FBI agent was investigating old crimes. It wasn't a good read. "
— Betty, 4/25/2011" These guys just get better the more I read! I really enjoyed this book and look forward to learning more about Pendergast and his peculiar bloodline. "
— Travis, 4/18/2011" I've now read all the Douglas/Child series; enjoy the Pendergast ones the most, riveting and scary! For me, miles above King and other thriller/scary writers, with the same knowledgeable detail Patrick O'Brian brings to his series. "
— Bobbe, 3/28/2011" Far better than a who dunnit. Puts Agatha Christie to shame, combining the triple attractions of immortal life, murder and detecting. The ending(though responsible) simply blows you apart. A must read by any thriller lover. "
— Anandh, 3/25/2011" Intriguing. My first introduction to the author and the characters, yet I felt I could relate to them throughout the book. Interesting plot, interesting concepts, intersting twists and turns. "
— Patrick, 3/23/2011" full of adventure and so suspenseful<br/>not expected ending<br/>scared to imagine all setting at the story<br/>made me really scare to imagine while read "
— Annamaria, 3/18/2011" Second book I just finished reading where I thought it just suddenly stopped. Did I misplace 1/2 the book? I'm desperately in need of a good book after the last 2. "
— Marie, 3/15/2011" One of my favorite Pendergast books. "
— Incandragon, 3/12/2011" a real page turner - I couldn't read fast enough! "
