Carved into a moving island of ice twice the size of the United States,
Ice Station Grendel has been abandoned for more than seventy years. The
twisted brainchild of the finest minds of the former Soviet Union, it
was designed to be inaccessible and virtually invisible. But an American
undersea research vessel has inadvertently pulled too close—and
something has been sighted moving inside the allegedly deserted
facility, something whose survival defies every natural law. And now, as
scientists, soldiers, intelligence operatives, and unsuspecting
civilians are drawn into Grendel's lethal vortex, the most extreme
measures possible will be undertaken to protect its dark
mysteries—because the terrible truths locked behind submerged walls of
ice and steel could end human life on Earth. Views: 640
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts, and the game warden--especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way--is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in. Even after the "outfitter murders," as they have been dubbed by the local press after the discovery of the two more bodies, are solved, Joe continues to investigate, uneasy with the easy explanation offered by the local police.
As Joe digs deeper into the murders, he soon discovers that the outfitter brought more than death to his backdoor: he brought Joe an endangered species, thought to be extinct, which is now living in his woodpile. But if word of the existence of this endangered species gets out, it will destroy any chance of InterWest, a multi-national natural gas company, building an oil pipeline that would bring the company billions of dollars across Wyoming, through the mountains and forests of Twelve Sleep. The closer Joe comes to the truth behind the outfitter murders, the endangered species and InterWest, the closer he comes to losing everything he holds dear. Views: 640

Newly repackaged, here is the runaway bestseller that launched Dale Brown's phenomenal career. "A superbly crafted adventure." (W.E.B. Griffin) "Suspenseful and spellbinding." (Clive Cussler)From Publishers WeeklyIt is not the Reagan Administration that has secretly been developing a Strategic Defense Initiative in this first book by retired USAF Captain Brown, but the Soviets, and as soon as the system comes on line, the Russians flagrantly attack American intelligence and military craft with their laser weapon. The President and his advisors appeal to the UN Security Council; they even dispatch sophisticated B-1 bombers and a new, armed space satellite, but both are thwarted, and the U.S. is left dangerously incapable of detecting a missile launch from the eastern U.S.S.R. Desperate, they decide to send a souped-up veteran B-52 bomber, the Old Dog, and its expert navigator Patrick McLanahan on a crucial mission into Siberia to neutralize the death ray. Brown knows his airborne and naval high-tech equipment and the cockpit bantering of crews, and can tell a basically interesting story. He does not, however, examine the frightening political consequences of the superpowers trading shots. The novel's excitement is essentially that of a boy's adventure fantasy rather than the well-realized suspense of a credible thriller. 75,000 first printing; $75,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club selections; Military Book Club selection; author tour. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review“A superbly crafted adventure…Exciting.” —W.E.B. Griffin, bestselling author of the Brotherhood of War series “Suspenseful and spellbinding.” —Clive Cussler “A page-turner…an adventure story with an eerie sense of reality…a premise that is possibly the most frightening since Fail Safe.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch “Excitement…Brown knows his airborne and Naval high-tech.” —Publishers Weekly “Terrific…a gripping thriller…a shattering climax.” —Stephen Coonts Views: 638
