Sinossi
Nascosta nelle profondità della calotta polare artica, si trova una base segreta dove alcuni tra i più brillanti scienziati dell'Unione Sovietica, poco prima della seconda guerra mondiale, avevano portato avanti un progetto rivoluzionario. Poi, improvvisamente, gli esperimenti erano stati sospesi e la base abbandonata. Oggi, sessantacinque anni dopo, la Stazione Grendel è un luogo dimenticato da tutti. Tuttavia un sottomarino americano equipaggiato per effettuare ricerche marine si avvicina casualmente alla base e un membro dell'equipaggio scopre che qualcuno si aggira all'interno di quell'immensa struttura: qualcuno - o qualcosa - che non sarebbe mai dovuto sopravvivere...

Middle of the pack thriller for me. The novel was honestly a bit too long; James Rollins could have accomplished a lot of the plot in probably 200 fewer pages and have held a quicker pace. There are parts in there where it gets bogged down pointlessly with extra stuff, seemingly to pad the number of Leggi tutto
This book has sat inconspicuously next to my computer desk on it's shelf for two years and I don't know what exactly propelled me to pick it up but I'm glad I finally did! I tend to collect adventure stories that reach all corners of the Earth, even go between the layers and I especially love all th Leggi tutto
I really appreciate how much research Rollins does for his novels. Making certain that the science is plausible, that the schematics of places make sense, and that the cultures/ languages used are accurate all really suck me into his stories. I could really picture this happening all under society's Leggi tutto
James Rollns is my go to thriller author and I have yet to be even mildly disappointed in any of his novels that I have read. Even among the embarassment of riches, this book stands out as one of my favorites. A political, race against the clock page-turner featuring buried secrets, government consp Leggi tutto
is it me or do some lines repeat themselves? it was like having a deja vu feeling all over the book that sno-cat performing a wheelie, though! and a scene before that, where the cat's driver used the backstreet boys' music as a threat... p24: then the small male cub--if you could call a a hundred-and-fi Leggi tutto
