Ice Hunt - Premium Ice Fishing Gear & Equipment for Winter Anglers | Ice Fishing Rods, Augers, Shelters & More for Cold Weather Fishing Adventures

Having read a few of James Rollins' books [Map of Bones, Amazonia, Deep Fathom, Excavation], I ordered three [Sandstorm, Ice Hunt, Subterranean] from Amazon to read on a short trip to the beach. I polished off Sandstorm in less than two days, enjoying it immensely... and then I picked up Ice Hunt. Let's just say I wasn't as interested. The exotic settings of Amazonia, Excavation, and Sandstorm had really peaked my interest, and the icy cold Arctic didn't do much for me... at first. After setting up the plot and creating some of the most lovable (and despisable!) and well-developed characters of all his novels, the pace quickens and soon becomes an all-out race to an explosive and amazing ending. Plot-twist after plot twist shake up the tale, making sure you're always on your toes. Political intrigue, scientific discovery, bloodcurdling enemies, a touch of romance and non-stop action drive this novel to the top of my favorites list. If you like James Rollins, or thrillers in general, do yourself a favor and pick up this book!James Rollins never ceases to amaze me with detailed plots, well-planned twists and turns, and deep characters, but this one takes first place in all of those arenas.Before my books had come in, I had picked up a used copy of Michael Crichton's Sphere, having enjoyed the movie. Similar in nature (a bunch of people trapped under the sea, fighting known and unknown enemies), I think that Rollins' Ice Hunt definitely topped Crichton's novel. You can actually BOND with the characters in Ice Hunt, understand how they're thinking, how they feel.Anyways, this is my first review of a novel on Amazon. I've written reviews and have been too lazy to post them anywhere, but this novel blew me away and I had to encourage every fan of thrillers to pick this one up. Grab a mug of hot chocolate and a warm blanket, because you're about to enter a world of cold weather and even colder predators... you'll want to keep warm on this thrill ride through the Arctic!
