"We are writing with some fabulous news! ICE has been named the Winner in the ACTION/ADVENTURE category of the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Congratulations!" Next Generation Indie Book Awards Leah Andrews stumbles upon something inexplicable in southwestern New Mexico: inside a dark cavern lies an undiscovered, Native American cliff dwelling abandoned for 800 years. While twisting through one of the narrow underground passageways, Leah’s flashlight illuminates the remains of a violent massacre. Ancient human remains—all slaughtered in a long-ago massacre—cover the cavern floor, along with a number of brilliantly colored, granite crystals. The rare crystals are native to only one place on earth: a frozen mountain range in central Antarctica. Could Native Americans have traveled to the frozen continent of Antarctica 800 years prior to the first known human exploration? If so how? And why?There’s only one person who can get Leah to those mountains in Antarctica: her estranged husband and climbing guide Jack Hobson. At their destination they make a stunning discovery that will change history and science forever. But Leah’s team is far from the only interested party. As her secret makes its way to the highest levels of government, a race to seize the Russian-claimed Antarctic territory brings the world to the brink of nuclear conflict. Edition with edits, updates and two chapters of ICE GENESIS.READ Two Chapters of the ICE sequel, ICE GENESIS, at http://www.writingthrillers.com

I hate cliffhangers!

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a well written interesting story that kept my interest until the very end....however I think the main characters could be fleshed out much better & to say their relationship is weird is an understatement. The plot was very good & very plausible. What ruined this book for me was the ending, or lack thereof....in order to find out what happens to the characters after a suspenseful lead-in, you have to buy another book....there are many loose ends left. And if I had known this before I downloaded the book, I would have passed it over. I hate writers who do this to their readers. So I will NOT get the next book to find out the ending of this one just as a matter of principle...whatever happened to good authors who wrote the whole story in one book....I greatly miss them!

Finished it but don t know why...

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019

If you like books that need better proofreaders, i.e., Publisher, then this is the book for you. Multiple grammatical errors such as missing words, occasional extra words, and many punctuation mistakes make me wonder why I persisted to see how the main plot was resolved. Only if wasn't! I can't detail the major flaws without s serious "spoiler alert" - - suffice it to say this is not a stand alone book, which most good books in a trilogy are. This has a very abrupt ending (which I guess is a way to get you to buy the next book) that leaves you hanging. Because of the plot flaws I won't be continuing the series. I will mention one flaw which will not have a spoiler effect on the main story -- in scanning the the first chapter of book 2, I learn one of the secondary characters and some of his men survive a nuclear Blast that they were at ground zero for! How the heck is that even remotely possible? Thanks but no thanks.

Messages For The Soul

A thrilling adventure…

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of historical adventures that may add in some unconventional elements to make an intriguing story. Some of my favorite authors in this genre are Preston & Child, James Rollins, and Clive Cussler. I was thrilled to find author Kevin Tinto's debut novel, "ICE", that also pulls these elements together masterfully and it was a fantastic read. The story of Leah, an archaeologist, and her estranged husband, Jack, who set off on an adventure to Antarctica after a discovery in New Mexico. There is mystery here, danger, and a wonderful fast-paced adventure that kept me highly engaged. I loved the two main characters and their intense relationship and am excited to see that this will be a continuing series. Very well done. (This is an unbiased book review and the opinions given here are 100% my own.)

An Adventure Science Fiction Mash-Up

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

Ice has been a book on my list for quite some time, but it was never available in audiobook — until recently. I was excited when I saw it was coming out in October and I featured it in my New and Notable post the week that it came out.

Ice was one of those books that at its heart has the feeling of a great adventure book, similar to Indiana Jones movies and books by David Wood, James Rollins, and Preston & Child. But it had a science fiction twist that even I didn’t see coming near the end. I won’t spoil it, but let me say that the book went from feeling like a straight up adventure novel to feeling a little bit like a dream. I was trying to explain what happened to my wife and it felt like trying to explain a dream. And then this happened, but that kind of makes sense but sounds crazy as I say it out loud. Now, I don’t say that to say that the book or the ending didn’t make sense. It did, but without mentioning the twist here, it’s something you’ll likely not see coming.

The storytelling really stands out in Ice. Tinto does a great job building up the tension and allowing the story to flow from one place to another without getting bogged down in too many details or too much “and it looked like this”. Each place was brilliantly described but not in a text-dump-way. Tinto was also great at creating characters that felt real but also were likeable and ones that were easy to root for. Leah Andrews is easily one of the stars of the book and every scene with her in it jumps off of the page.

Throw in great narration by a seasoned-pilot-turned-narrator, Pamela Almand knocks this one out of the park. She became Leah, but also didn’t drop the ball when it came to the male characters in the book. Sometimes narrators try too hard to do the opposite sex and it sounds bad. Almand didn’t and it was one of the first things I noticed. She really helped keep the pace that Tinto set and allowed the book to just fly off of the pages and into my ear.

Overall, a great book that kept me riveted to my seat. I couldn’t wait to figure out what happened and what was coming next. And, now that Tinto has me hooked, I wanted to check out the other two books in the series to figure out what happens to everyone.

A lot of sub-plots here.

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was my first book from this author and I must say it was quite the ride. There are so many sub-plots going on at once that it is sometimes hard to keep up. The author has done his research on climbing and piloting, although as I read his bio he does all the things his main character does. Definitely an asset.
The premise of the book is the discovery of a rare element inside an ancient cave dwelling in New Mexico that is only found in Antarctica. This leads our intrepid team on an expedition to the icy continent in search of answers. What they find are more questions and, as a consequence of a billionaire sponsor who collects old airplanes, problems with the government, the Russians and a motley assortment of characters as the crew attempts to salvage an abandoned WWII bomber. It's all good fun.
If I have any complaints about the book, it would be that I need to get the two sequels in order to find out how everything comes out. If they are as good as this book was, I really don't mind.

Why oh why did I buy this book ?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Nowhere in the blurb is any mention made of Aliens and their like. Science Fiction is not my cup of tea and this book reinforces this dislike in spades. .
The characters are about as preposterous as the plot, over the top and out of sight. Even trying to make a valid précis of the plot is difficult without sounding plain daft.
The female lead has more testosterone than a 1960's eastern European lady hammer thrower and is a cold un likeable self centred person. Her male lead - sort of ex husband, may be able to climb Everest in his underpants but is totally subservient to her, making him a less than admirable hero. There are several more standard issue American characterless characters to make quite a large cast. If you can follow the plot, which develops at breakneck speed, and accept all the tenuous links, co-incidences and down right silliness then you are more likely to enjoy this book than I did. BUT I am the only 1 star reviewer to date versus 80 four and five stars.

Not a terrible read and then not a great read I feel three is about fair.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

Yes the writer has put in time and effort but time and effort are not the main requirements of good or great books. I think understanding your target audience, researching your story with target in mind, setting the tone and keeping the flow are far more important.

Ok for me the whole idea of reading a work of fiction is to be carried away into a place in my mind where fantasy is allowed to live. Unfortunately this is a fragile place, a place that you can be abruptly kicked out of when your eyes trace over words that should not be there. When this happens the flight of fantasy is spoilt, well no not just spoilt but sometimes actually completely wrecked.

Tip to writer:- ALWAYS USE WORDS THAT ARE IN KEEPING WITH THE STYLE OF THE BOOK.

Plot is decent although the ‘writer’ like so many other ‘writers‘ (apparently in an effort to show how great a wordsmith they are) throws in words that 1/ are rarely used in day to day conversation and as such are not really fully understood, they don’t fit the tone of that sentence so to most readers actually come as a “err what are they on about?” 2/ not only do not really fit either the writing style or the actual place they have been thrown into, but often as not they are not even the right words or best words to actually achieve the desired result.

I did finish the book so in reality I must have found it not too disruptive a read. But I must admit the further into the book I got the more I was wanting it to end, than wanting it to continue.

Simple things like the 'writer' putting 'insure' instead of 'ensure' yes it may have been a type error but the book contained enough of these errors, for example "snatch and grab" both snatch and grab are variations of a similar action but different enough to make the term "snatch and grab" absolute nonsense. To use if I remember correctly, yielded instead of wielded show insufficient proof reading from both writer and proof readers.

They don’t tell you it’s science fiction - but it is. Poorly written, too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Nowhere in the description did it mention “science fraction,” my least favourite genre. And yet at somewhere between 60-70% the author introduces a load of old sci-if bunkum. To add to a load of characters who were so unbelievable and unrealistic that I amazed myself by staying with this junk this far. Thankfully, I got the book for free or I would have felt even more cheated. As it was, a day’s worth of reading about some mad woman archaeologist, her ex-husband mountaineer and various unbelievable side kicks was more than enough to put me off this author for life. Don’t pay for this junk. If I could give it less than one star I would.

Highly readable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

The cover suggested an action adventure story which it is but I wasn't expecting science fiction as well. The amount of detail is impressive and shows that the author has both experience in his subject and has carried out a huge amount of research.
The story is a string of adventures that will take you to the top of Everest, to native Indian caves in the US and to Antartica where you will meet 800 year old Navajo and other Indian natives. It is a gripping tale that has you on the edge of your seat throughout. Highly readable and recommended.

Brilliant new adventure writer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Bought this book on the off chance after glancing at the review as there were no new books from my favourite authors (Andy Mcdermott,Matthew Reilly,David Golemon,David Gibbins,Chris Kusneski,Jeremy Robinson,David Wood,James Douglas,Cussler- you get the idea of the stories I like),James Rollins i felt had become a little stale,so i just tried it.
Now i never start ranting about plots etc,just read the cover of the book itself if you want to know,but i absolutely loved the book and with the teaser at the end for the new one i went straight to look for it,only for disappointment to realise it's not out yet.
There are alot of action adventure writers,stories sometimes get similar,but this had plenty of mixtures.These type of books are to be enjoyed for what they are,to get you away from the drudgery of normal life into another world.You don't buy them for the grammar or the deep profound meanings,just enjoy,and this certainly does what I wanted.Bring on more Mr Tinto
