The first book in the Scarecrow series and it's pretty explosive, some real on the edge of your seat stuff. Something has been discovered under the ice in Antarctica and Shane's team has been sent in to check it out... other teams have also been sent in and a battle commences. Matthew Reilly is the master of over-the-top action and this book is no exception, some amazing scenes and a few really sad scenes too. It has been a few years since I read this but I think this is the book that p****d off the French. hehe
