Product Description
Captain Alex Hunter and his highly trained commandos, along with a team of scientists, are fast tracked to the hot zone to find out what went wrong. Meanwhile, the alluring petrobiologist Aimee Weir is sent to follow up on the detection of a vast underground reservoir. If the unidentified substance proves to be oil, every country in the world will want to know about it—even wage war over it. Or worse.
Once suspended into the caves, Alex, Aimee, and the others can’t locate a single survivor—or even a trace of their remains. Nor is there a energy source, only specters of the dead haunting the tunnels. But soon they will discover that something very much alive is brewing beneath the surface. It is a force that dates back to the very dawn of time—an ancient terror that hunts and kills to survive…

Look Out Matthew Reilly,
By
This review is from: Beneath the Dark Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
Beck delivers a fast-paced thriller resembling the work of fellow Australian, Matthew Reilly. I apologize if this in any way upsets either author - think of it as a comparison between Ludlum and Forsyth. "Beneath" takes the reader to Antarctica with scientists, special forces, lost civilizations, and mythic beasties. if this sounds familiar, it is because it is. Yet, Beck keeps the reader entertained with pace and a fun farfetched premise that is enjoyable. If you are a fan of Rollins, Preston, Child, and McDermott then you will have fun with this thriller.

Long Live the Arcadian!,
By Cat Baloo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beneath the Dark Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
Had all the ingredients i like in a thriller - a remote and dangerous setting, a rugged hero with an Achilles heel, a vicious and deadly villain, political intrigue and cutting edge science, throw in a tough heroine and a band of elite soldiers, put them in the ruins of an ancient civilisation and pit them against a mythological creature and it was a recipe for going days without sleep! The story plays with legends like the Kraken and Atlantis and draws on elements of Olmec and Mayan archaeology. What if there once had been a great civilisation living in Antarctica? What if the thing that destroyed it was still there thousands of years later? A terrifyingly scary thriller!

Soldiers, we are not alone. Prepare to go hot.,
By George N - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beneath the Dark Ice (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is exactly what it says on the tin. Adventure, action, horror and a seriously good yarn. Reminds me of the best Stephen King, but without the waffle. The author cuts right to the chase, and brings you with him deep under the Antarctic ice; he creates a believable universe in which the kraken isn't just a fairy tale, and superheroes really exist. Perfect escapist fiction!
