Glacier Terror (Wilderness #52) [Mass Market Paperback]

David Thompson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2007

MYSTERY ON THE MOUNTAIN
The King family wouldn't have lasted as long as they have in the remote, perilous Rockies if they didn't know a thing or two about survival. But even after all these years, the wilderness has a few surprises for them. There's something not quite right about a glacier high atop a peak near their valley. The Indians claim it's bad medicine and won't go near it. Of course that doesn't stop Louisa King from cajoling her husband to go on a getaway up to the high country. But they can't fathom the savagery they're about to unleash. For something terrible lives on that glacier, something that craves flesh and doesn't care whether it's from a deer or an elk--or a human.

Wilderness # 52 - Glacier Terror By David Thompson - Genre: Western

As a book Glacier is mint!!, But when is a Crypto Wilderness book not a Crypto Wilderbook, when you read this book LOL, the author is a sneaky fiend!!. All jokes aside this was an absolutely cracking read and kept up the high standard I've come to expect when reading a Wilderness tale, Great story, super plot, insightful, amusing and thoughtful dialogue and so many cliff-hangers my nails are shredded!!.

Zach and Louise decide to go a trip to a nearby mountain and climb up the glacier and this will lead to an adventure that will test themselves and their love for each other to extremes as they encounter something mysterious on the mountain. This was a terrific read and I really enjoyed it and it's underlying theme of love, family and what people will do for each other when in difficult ands dangerous situations. The humour quota was high in this tome especially in the first few chapters as Zach tries in vain to remember what he has agreed too with Louise after she asks him a monumental question (hands up what man hasn't just said yes when not listening to the other half, you at the back your a bloody liar!!). But this book is all about what people will do for each other, Zach for Louise and vice versa, Neota for his estranged relative, Nate for his son and daughter in law etc.

All in all a great book and there is even a hint of something else on the glacier that hopefully will crop up in a later book and that thing might be a Crypto beast.(pretty please!!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down, April 23, 2008

By 

The Western Reader "steveml" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Glacier Terror (Wilderness #52) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Glacier is known for being bad medicine, the local Indians won't go anywhere near it. But these fears don't stop Louisa King from persuading her husband Zach to go on a getaway into the high country. Even they can't guess at the terror they're about to unleash, for something terrible lives on that glacier, something that craves flesh and doesn't care whether it's from a deer or an elk - or a human.

A book that begins with moments of humour as Zach comes to realize why Lou wants them to spend some quality time together that leads to a different side to Zach starting to appear, a more responsible side.

The fun of the beginning soon giving way to fear as Zach and Lou near the glacier. From here the book never lets up as David Thompson increases the pace and the danger, gripping the reader with cliffhanger chapter endings and the desire to find out just what it is that lives on that glacier.

And David Thompson expertly creates another feeling for the reader, that of sympathy for the characters of To-Ma and Neota.

This is a book that any reader should find hard to put down before reaching the end, a book that has me eager for the next one to come out.

Highly recommended.

I wasn't able to read the books in the correct order, but adding this to my collection just makes me want to reread all the ones before it. Such a great series!
