Good rollicking adventure story.....one that makes you want to bundle up, no matter where you are! A typical simple normal guy finds himself sucked into an exciting adventure of international (and cold!) intrigue, and sets out with a bunch of strangers to accomplish the impossible in a most unforgiving climate. Very fun....expecially since i was vacationing in FL when i read it!!
My first book by the author, and also his first published novel.

Dr Edwards receives a packed addressed to a Professor Ed Ward, in it there is a notebook written in Russian. As soon as he is in receipt of the parcel there are attempts made on his life.

He manages to escape and goes looking for the parcels rightful owner. What follows is tale of action, deceit and mystery that takes him all to way into the Russian Arctic as part of a crack team on a rescue mission.

A well written novel that any fan of Jack Higgins or Alistair Maclean will love.

I will definately be seeking out more of the authors works.
