Product Description
A breathtaking discovery at the top of the world . . .
A terrifying collision between modern science and Native American legend . . .
An electrifying new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Lincoln Child.
Two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle lies Alaska’s Federal Wildlife Zone, one of the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth. But for paleoecologist Evan Marshall and a small group of fellow scientists, an expedition to the Zone represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study the effects of global warming.
Everything about the expedition changes, however, with an astonishing find. On a routine exploration of a glacial ice cave, the group discovers an enormous ancient animal, encased in solid ice. The media conglomerate sponsoring their research immediately intervenes and arranges the ultimate spectacle—the creature will be cut from the ice, thawed, and revealed live on television. Despite dire warnings from the local Native American village, and the scientific concerns of Marshall and his team, the “docudrama” plows ahead . . . until the scientists make one more horrifying discovery. The beast is no regular specimen—it may be an ancient killing machine. And they may be premature in believing it dead.
In this riveting new thriller, Lincoln Child weaves together a stunning Arctic landscape, a terrifying mythic creature, and a pervasive mood of chaos—and fear. With Terminal Freeze, Child demonstrates why he has become a major bestselling author, and why his novels electrify and enthrall so many.

What a Mess!,
By Neil Sullivan "www.lulu.com/akibapublishing" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Terminal Freeze (Hardcover)
I have read all of Child's books, including those written with Douglas Preston, and this has to be the worst.While one expects to have to suspend disbelief for these "thrillers", I couldn't believe the poor quality of the book's plot. It has the look of a low-effort creation from start to finish. I read it all the way through to the end in the hope that it would have some redeeming features. Unfortunately, neither the story itself, the plot development nor the characters ever got any better. It is a poor effort with a weak story and bad writing. I'll still read his next one, but I am truly unimpressed with this book.

Their writing just keeps getting worse...,
By G. Carsen (Huntsville On Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terminal Freeze (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the early Preston/Child novels--up to and including Ice Limit. Since then their collaborations and solo novels have been really disappointing. This novel is awful--cliche writing, a not original premise, and characters you hate. I am amazed I made it past page 200. I give a friend of mine all the books I have read--this one ended up in the recycle bin. If I gave him this book to read I would lose a friend.
