Holy macaroni, but this was a really good book. It happens in Alaska's Federal Wilderness Zone. They are studying the mounting effeccts of climate change at the base of a glacier when they discover an enormous pre-historic animal encased in ice. The local villagers (a fair ways away, actually) tell them not to disturb it, no, no, leave, you fools or you will die, die, aaaahhhaaaa.But they don't leave. Many die. aaaahhhaaaa, And the afterthought is just.... creepy.

Well, maybe not the best story from this author, but a fast and fun "take me away from politics" read nonetheless! Scientists studying global warming two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska's federal Wildlife Zone discover what they believe to be a prehistoric animal in a glacial cave under layers of ice. What they discover is something much more otherworldly. With the help of a Tunit Shaman, remnants of a film documentary crew, military personnel and Doctor Jeremy Logan they mana...

Lincoln Child is my go-to author for techno-thrillers now that Michael Crichton is no longer with us. The guy can simply do not wrong in my eyes. Fast-paced, tight story, archeological mystery, it's all there. This one was no exception. A saber tooth tiger is found frozen in the ice on a military base in Alaska. The fun just takes off from there. Great stuff and I devoured it in three days.

I had a sense of deja vu while reading. I think I may have listened to this years before I started on GRs? Maybe not. Maybe it sounded like another story? IDKAll I can say is I never felt that thriller on the edge of your seat moments. So I must have read. It’s not the story which was good.I’m not really sure why this series is named after Logan. His presence was fleeting.Overall, good read.The narrator was really good but hardly modulated his voices for men and women making it hard to tell who

read this is a daze (had to travel a lot lately, plus multiple instances of waiting in line);understood the general flow of the story, not enough to critique it, though;i must say that logan chap's a lot less frisky than their (him and preston) other heroesi do hope to see the aurora borealis for real someday

Book 2 in the Jeremy Logan series published 2009.A 3.5 star adventure.Genre classification, my best attempt would be fantasy/sci-fi/horror/thriller.Given my above classification this needs to be seen as pure escapist entertainment and as such performs well.A team of scientist and documentary film maker are in the frozen waists of Alaska. The scientist are there because global warming has accelerated the ice melt on the glacier at Camp Fear. Their hope is of finding some secrets that the glacier

This was a little 'blah' for me. But I think I don't care for monster stories. I don't like twiddling my fingers and waiting for characters to be picked off by the monster. I also didn't like how predictable it was for who would die. It was like Child was mainly killing off the jerky characters. While I am not saying that I want to see likable characters killed off, it seems too calculated to establish a character as a putz and then kill them off. It was a bit sadistic of the author, quite frank...

Lincoln Child is better known for the horror centered Pengergast series on which he collaborated with Douglas Preston. Terminal Freeze is one of Child's solo novels but is still dead center in the genre of modern techno-horror. It is a light read, aka supermarket bestseller, aka airplane novel, aka summer read, aka any somewhat derogatory label you want to give a book that is purely for entertainment value and will be forgotten about two days later. That's isn't to say it is not fun. It is the l...

'Testost(erone) tosh' is self-evidently the male version of chick-lit and I must admit I much prefer the manly rubbish compared to the entirely unpalatable (IMHO) female polemic. This genre is always fast, furious, vicious and improbable - wonderful comfort reads.

Top of the world, Alaska. Scientist and military make a base for an experiment 50 years ago, find the creature 'it', science team gets brutally mutilated, base shuts down. 50 years later, another science team re-opens the base, finds 'it' AGAIN and the science teams gets picked off one by one again, or until someone figures out how to kill 'it'. Yada, yada, yada. Jeremy Logan was NOT the main character in this one and it was like 'huh'?? His reason for being at the base went way over my head and...

Whoa, what a terrible book! It reads like he was expecting someone to make a movie of the week out of it. But with a really low budget. The monster isn't even partially described until near the tedious long drawn out end of this silly story. "It plays with you! It PLAYYYSSS with YOUUUUU!!!" WTF? Seriously?! Cuz it doesn't. No where in the book. And what was up with the ice road trucker part of the story? It wasn't even part of the story. Just tossed in there because even this ridiculous monster

Scientists studying global warming at a remote outpost in the Arctic discover an animal frozen in the ice. When they inform the media company that is sponsoring the research, the execs take control. they want to thaw it out in a controlled environment on live TV. The scientists and a local Shaman who was involved in earlier exploration at the same base a warning against it. When the animal thaws out, their fears are realized. A quick read, pretty predictable, but enjoyable.

This was my 2nd Jeremy Logan story, I think, maybe 3rd. Just the thought of being in a 20 degree below zero environment freaks me completely out--not to mention a thawed "thing". Jeremy didn't have a lot of time to think about his wife in this story!

After impressing me with Deep Storm last year, Lincoln Child sort of missed the boat with Terminal Freeze. While there was nothing bad about it, it suffered from being a retread of Relic, Child's thriller debut with Douglas Preston. He even seems to recognize this when he refers to Frock and his Callisto Effect theory. Swap out Relic's natural history museum for a military base in Alaska, change some character names and throw in a documentary team from a television channel, and you've got Termin...

Not a favorite of his, but a good enough read and action packed, especially near the end. It has an interesting premise and left the door open for a sequel.

There's nothing better than a good adventure-horror-sci-fi novel... there's something comforting in the predictability of some of the plot points: Take a group of scientists, mucking about in something they shouldn't (in this case, unearthing a large creature frozen in ice and thawing it out), in a remote location (a remote Alaskan glacier), throw in something evil (large, man-eating creature, possibly prehistoric), a few stupid characters (a filmmaker who stops at nothing to get the perfect sho...

I am somewhat biased because I am a huge Preston / Child fan. Their prose really resonates with me and I enjoy the experience of reading their words. This book was not my favorite of their works. The exploration of the arctic and the assembly of the documentary crew, the scientists, the military and the Tunit shaman made for an interesting cast of characters. I read this book more quickly than many other thrilers that I read and this is a huge gauge for me as to how much I enjoy a book. As much

Intelligent, well-plotted, unique, and captivating. I love Lincoln Child as simply "Lincoln Child," and he certainly doesn't disappoint with Terminal Freeze. I do wonder to where the cat ran off, though. :)
