Jeremy Logan, the self professed enigmologist, the researcher of the occult, comes across some recently declassified documents in the government archives. His interest is piqued by the odd sounding, brief report of a scientific project gone horribly wrong at an Alaskan military base which also happened to host a scientific research team at the time. He is so interested in the event that he lands up at the base.
Situated in the Federal Wildlife Zone in the Artic region, close to the last Native settlement, a scientific team has unearthed something truly fascinating. It is a discovery that could bring laurels or lead them to their doom. Jury is still out on that one when a high profile documentary production team lands in all its glory to unveil this discovery to the world outside . But as they say ' Best laid plans’. Things start to go horribly wrong and how.
As far as thrillers go, I wouldn't call this book great. Definitely has its shiny moments and a bloody messy (in a literal sense) climax but falls pale when compared to Deep Storm. The middle reads like a movie script. Not your usual fare but imagine something created by Micheal Bay (for the mindless destruction) or Guillermo Del Toro (for the grotesque imagery). Definitely not a pretty picture, that's for sure.
Lincoln Child's Deep Storm was a wonderful discovery I made while I was out looking for something entirely different. So my expectations with Terminal Freeze were supremely high. I'll still give this series a chance and try another book in the series before I decide if I have had enough.
