Review by Nigel (010102) Rating (7/10) Review
by Nigel The
book is OK and is more believable than Ice
Station, however, there are still some scenes that are very
hard to accept. Put this to one side however, and you have a very
entertaining thriller that most fans of the genre will read in
one sitting, as it is very well written and flows along nicely.
Review
by Chrissi His duties are now with the President as part of the security unit travelling with him and the secret service. Just so that it is all tidy, Gant and Mother are also there, nicknamed his harem, by the other soldiers that they work with. Anyway, the President is out visiting the lesser known places where voters may be found, in this particular instance secret bases with strange and unknown functions. Built underground to prevent the experiments from being seen from above, these bases are ex-cold war bunkers, now turned over to new kinds of research. Unfortunately the people there are not overly keen on meeting their president, and certainly not keen on voting for him, preferring as they do, to kill him and make off with the research. But... Personally, if I were Schofield, I would never venture into an enclosed space ever again, I would have such a bad case of claustrophobia that you would not see me beneath trees, never mind in an underground bunker... But
after all the bangs and booms, it is a darn good story, and like
Ice Station (although
not as good - I had to read it again after Area 7), it
will keep you going from start to finish. |
