5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling Arctic Thriller!!!, December 30, 2006

By 

Rob Weiner (Santa Fe, NM) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cage of Ice (Paperback)

This was Duncan Kyle's first book which got him onto the thriller scene. Reading 'A Cage of Ice' shows he came in with a bang. John Edwards, the main character, receives a mysterious package from the Soviet Union. Later the same day he is nearly killed by a car and his landlord is mugged for the keys to Edward's room. He is confused, not only because of the bizarre attacks but because the package is addressed to 'Professor Edward.' He is Dr. Edwards. The plot comes together quite nicely, and Dr. Edwards ends up on a mission through the Arctic. This thriller set the stage for Kyle's other books, and he went on to become the greatest thriller writer ever (in my eyes.)

1.0 out of 5 stars STARTS OFF OK, and deteriorates steadily, April 23, 2011

I got thru this "thriller," after casting it aside a few times in frustration. Halfway thru the book the device of throw up a storm, find another anchor becomes glaringly apparent. I started wondering what was in the potboiler bag next to throw into the stew. On top of that the reference to the global warming hoax is tiresome. If you can stomach the result you MIGHT like the story. There isn't much in the way of likeability about the characters, tho.
