Reclusive polar ice researcher Seth Peterson has located a doomsday fault, which could allow the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a hunk of ice a mile-and-a-half-thick and as big as Mexico—to slide off the continent and flood coastal cities, ending the world as we know it. Millions of people worldwide would perish in the resulting chaos and famine. This knowledge—and his heroics at a fateful traffic accident—puts Seth reluctantly under the scrutiny of media, law enforcement, and a band of environmental extremists desperate to make an obscure, overdue prophecy come true. Their cataclysmic objective seems terrifyingly believable to Seth—as does their plan to exterminate him, the only living witness to their scheme. In fear for his life, Seth escapes to the icy shores of a Minnesota lake, where he must confront these extremists in order to prevent a potential disaster.

This review is from: Big Ice (Paperback)
I've read books with high acclaim from top reviewers that can't come close to Cristopher Bonn Jonnes's "BIG ICE." The book fits all the accolades of a best seller.Seth (the main character) . . . who can't love him even with his personal problems? To me he represents the fears in us all and how most of us have run away from something when we should have stayed. For me, Seth did more than overcome his problem of Social Phobia; he tells the reader, through his ordeal, that we are all heros when we stick out the hard times and remember those who mean the most to us, viz. our families and true friends. I had to keep reading this book because it pulled me into its story with the non-stop action, suspense, and intrigue. Author: Christopher Bonn Jonnes has set a new trend in a genre that I thought was worn out and uninteresting---not so with "BIG ICE." You won't be disappointed if you like shoot'em up, narrow escapes from death, and grizzly scenes that make you cringe. You'll be cheering for the main character, and I promise, he will not fail you when the time comes. Get it! Buy it! and enjoy it! What about it, Christopher? ---can we take the sequel to the Antarctic? From the author of: "Whipped Pups of Bitterbrush" M.D. Cummings

A gripping and thrilling read,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Ice (Paperback)
Big Ice is an exciting and suspenseful tale of threat, extremism, and heroic desperation. When a reclusive polar ice researcher discovers a "doomsday fault" that could potentially cause a massive amount of ice to detach, melt, flood coastal cities around the globe and wreak havoc upon humanity, he is thrust in the center of a nexus of journalists, law enforcement officials, and ruthless fanatics determined to make cataclysmic prophecies come true. A gripping and thrilling read, Big Ice documents author Christopher Boon Jonnes as a gifted and original novelist of considerable talent and storytelling expertise.

Another Great One!,
By Beth Dickerson (West Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Ice (Paperback)
Great book!! Jones writes so that you can relate to the people. You really get to know them and even with their faults, you still end up liking them and rooting for them! I recommend Big Ice (and Wake Up Dead, his other book) to everyone!
