Kurt Austin races to Antarctica to stop a chilling plot that imperils the entire planet in the latest novel from the number one New York Times best-selling Grand Master of Adventure.

In the early days of World War II, the infamous German Luftwaffe embark upon an expedition to Antarctica, hoping to set up a military base to support their goal of world domination. Though the military outpost never comes to fruition, what the Nazis find on the icy continent indeed proves dangerous...and will have implications far into the future.

In the present day, Kurt Austin and his assistant Joe Zavala embark for the freezing edge of the world after a former NUMA colleague disappears in Antarctica. While there, they discover a photo of the Luftwaffe expedition of 1939 and are drawn into a decades-old conspiracy. Even as they confront perilous waters and frigid temperatures, they are also are up against a terrifying man-made weapon - a fast-growing ice that could usher in a new Ice Age.

Pitted against a determined madman and a monstrous storm, Kurt and the NUMA team must unravel the Nazi-era plot in order to save the globe from a freeze that would bury it once and for all.

Can’t go wrong with a numa files book. Curt Austin and Joe Zavala are a great team, excitement in vast quantities in all their escapades. Clive Cussler never disappoints.

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Cussler
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023

Rated 4 stars relative to expectations for Cussler Nation. Quite typical of the 50+ Pitt/NUMA adventures. Each book now seems like an assembly of LEGO plot blocks created in earlier books. Good guys, bad guys, action, technology, witty banter, and mystery-solving is Cussler Standard. That is: fast-moving, high-tech, and giant in scope. Also, largely over the top ridiculous, both in details and overall story. If you liked earlier Cussler fare, you should enjoy this one as well.

My favorite author is Clive Cussler. His style of writing is riveting, but Kurt and Joe keep the humor light even when it seems no way out of the mess they are about to find themselves in.
I always enjoy the story and look forward to the next adventure.

Kurt Austin protects the world from near the South Pole. There is a bit of technical information here that is presented so well it is hard to know where the science stops and the fiction begins. Good book and well worth the read.

I'm not sure I should review any Clive Cussler books anymore because they all follow a set pattern. Different scenarios but basically some megalomaniac has some dastardly plot to get rich and remake the world to suit himself. This story does the same. Read one, read them all. If you like this, read this one.

Sono una patita di Cussler e anche questo romanzo mi ha preso sin dall’inizio. Tempi di consegna rispettati. Il prezzo dei libri in lingua originale con copertina rigida è sempre molto alto.

A new adventure of the NUMA team, in a science fiction plot what can happen in a future for the climate change, but with the usual rhythm, a lot of action and final surprise. Very entertaining in the Cussler Line

Příběhy Clive Cusslera mám rád. Protože jejich překlad do češtiny trvá příliš dlouho, objednávám si je v originále. Dříve jsem jeho tituly objednával na anglickém Amazonu, ale poté co Britové získali svobodu Brexitem to již není možné, vyzkoušel jsem německý Amazon a jsem daleko více spokojen. Doporučuji.
