and here as a bonus for the military airplane autists…here have a Mack Maloney:
What in the hell? That is the wildest Wikipedia entry I’ve ever read.
They keep using “Mother” without explanation.
While alone, Schofield is shot and killed. He later wakes up, found to have been accidentally resurrected by his attacker,
I hate when that happens.
That’s enough to make me want to read the book. How is this narrative tied together and are the fantasy elements explained?
There are basically no “fantasy” elements, the book keeps you on edge with every page, its the most tense book i have ever read, i fr could NOT LAY IT DOWN until it was thru. Stuff why u should read the book:
- Liquid nitrogen hand granades
- magnetic pneumatic shootable grappeling hook
- French special forces beeing assholes
- more Deus ex machina moments than i ever saw before in a singular book
So it’s a beach romance for nerds. I’m interested.
I got it from wikipedia, so no clue.
Oh I didn’t expect you to have answers. I don’t think serious fans of a novel like this understand that NCD is satire…
Ice Station is sitting on my bookshelf and I think you’re severely underestimating nerds who enjoy over the top action.
It’s entirely possible you are correct, I’ll check it out.
It is on Audible, and I’ve got too many credits anyway… But it’s also over 15 hours
Incredible.
That’s pretty bonkers.
Y’all gotta read “Ice Station” You got Spaceships, killer whales, hovercrafts and French Baddies.
Just amazing.
Yeah - while Temple was my first exposure, but Ice Station is the best place to start, and up there with his best work. Later stuff goes from silly fun to just… lost.
The ancient wonders series or whatever they’re called is wild too. It’s like some kind of unified conspiracy theory adventure.
Reilly books are one hell of a ride
