De: Clive Cussler, Graham Brown

Narrado por: Scott Brick

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Gripping.... This is another classic Cussler action thriller.” (Publishers Weekly)

“The pace never slows, and the villains are extra nasty in this entry that delivers what readers expect when they see Cussler's name on the cover. Cussler, who died in 2020, and frequent cowriter Brown convey marine biology's complexities in a way that makes it believable and understandable. Grab a comfy chair and plan to read all night.” (Library Journal)

“The adrenaline junkie reader will love this and all Cussler’s books.” (Mystery and Scene)

Great Novel

Great story and up to date with current events and themes. Very enjoyable listen and plot.

A Cold Tale

Good Yarn. Enjoyed Kurt Austin do it again. This story took them off to the Antartic. unusual but a good new location.

ascents a little difficult

the south African accent made me question whether they were Russian or Australian. but the story was good and the rest of it was alright.

Fantastic as Usual !!!!!!

Clive Cussler Novels set the highest bar, few can reach and without foul language!
Keep Them Coming!!!!!!

One of my favorite authors

Once again he’s told a story that was hard to put down at least I couldn’t!!!!

Another classic NUMA tale, exquisitely performed

If you're a stranger to these stories please give this book a try. I listen while exercising (mostly) and nothing makes that go faster! Unfortunately Clive left us in 2020 but I'm looking forward to his legacy continuing through Dirk, Graham Brown, and Clive's other co-authors. Scott Brick sets a high bar for performance and this is a classic example of how it should be done. Highly recommended!

Another Good One

Loved it as always I hope some one will take over his work as I will miss all of his characters they became like friends and family to me.

Fantastic tale

Listened intently it went by too quick. Love his tie-in to Nazi Germany. He is a master of his craft.

Awesome

As expected, Mr Cussler’s story telling is astounding. The buildup and ending never disappoint. Scott Bricks interpretation almost makes me feel like I’m right there sharing the adventure. Rest In Peace Clive Cussler you shall be missed.

very enjoyable read, similar to other CC stories

another great story, fast paced, narrated very well by Scott Brick...as usual. sometimes the coincidences way too far fetched...but that's the way the stories go! 👍
