Enjoyed this book nearly as much as the Ice Limit. A new character was added and this was a good change. Always good stories from these authors

Was a bit unbelievable, but I had to get to the end! I have been In those waters and they are rarely as calm as described!

I really enjoyed “The Ice Limit” ten odd years ago or more; it was a fantastic example of the snappy, short-chapter airport novel genre, out Dan Brown-ing Dan Brown.

However, the formula is no longer novel and we want content.

This tries, it really does, but for some reason, the dreadful lack of technical understanding on display here ruins the aspects that were so enjoyable in TIL, and the new, science-fictiony stuff, well, let’s say that few people who don’t routinely write science fiction write it well when they try.

The first of the novels involving Gideon Crew that I’ve read, I think it will be the last. To be honest, the last from these authors, I think. “Riptide” was bad enough, but this has ruined a book in TIL that I did enjoy.

Since it fulfils the “light and easy, no effort” criterion, I don’t think it deserves just one star, but it doesn’t merit more than two.

4.0 out of 5 stars A timely conclusion to the Gideon series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2016

A more than competent follow-up to The Ice Limit. I had been looking forward to the conclusion of the series and enjoyed the pace and story development. The links to the previous books were well made but I was left wanting a little more, I cannot put my finger on it exactly but there was just something not quite right to warrant a full five stars. If, like me, you enjoy Preston and Child then you are sure to enjoy this book. I hope that one or two of the characters appear in future books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really really good stuff as always

This book managed to get me doing something I've not done in a long time.... read in bed at night and fight off sleep for as long as possible.... I usually get half a page in, feel the eyes getting heavy and I'm gone but with beyond the ice limit I didn't give in to sleep... and once the paranoia element got thrown into the mix after the isolation.... sold! There's a lot of rubbish out there, I'd just finished something I personally would shelve in that category, thankfully though there's quite a bit of Preston and Child out there too, brilliant read

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and gruesome!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2017

Brilliant follow up to The Ice Limit, and also fits in very nicely as the fourth book in the Gideon Crew series.

Good fun, brilliantly gruesome in places it had me feeling quite queasy at times!

Recommended to all Preston/Child fans and for those who want something pacy, clever and gripping all in equal measure.

Thoroughly enjoyed this grand finale to Ice Limit. Gripping from start to finish and really struggled to put it down. I can only highly recommend both Ice Limit and this story to adventure readers. Well placed and believable.

An interesting, thrilling and gripping read. Well worth the four stars,knocking on the door of five.There are surprises and twists that come out of nothing with some interesting (and surprisingly doomed) characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars An avid fan left disappointed and longing for the Preston & Child of old.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2016
Verified Purchase
An avid Preston & Child fan since picking up Relic in a bookstore whilst on holiday in Key West in 1995 as 13 year old, I have read every single book released and remain a huge fan of The Ice Limit. However, I found this long awaited sequel both rushed and ultimately dissatisfying. Personal opinion of course, as it remains a very polished piece of writing, however I was left feeling somewhat short changed.
