RT Rating

Erica Daniels, one of Earth's top volcanologists, is disappointed when NASA assigns her former lover turned rival, David Marsh, to explore the moon's
surface. She wanted the gig but gets sent to Antarctica instead.

The truth about the mysterious
volcanic hot spot at the South Pole has been kept from Erica. Scientists from America and Russia have disappeared from the site. Now a team of Navy SEALs
is secretly accompanying Erica and archeologist Allan Rocheford to the South Pole. Could Allan's amazing
theory linking the site to the ancient pyramids and the lost civilization
of Atlantis be on target? And why
does David suddenly call Erica from
the moon?

Ice Tomb is set in the near future, 2015, and the science in the fiction is very plausible. A fast-paced story with plenty of twists, this book reads like
a classic sci-fi tale. The characters
are well drawn, the action plentiful
and the outcome surprising. (Oct.
