What if
the largest untapped reserve of oil was found underneath Antarctica? Would that
discovery set the foundation for the largest military war in the history of the
world? Storming the Black Ice
fictionalizes what that reality could be like.
In Storming the Black Ice, Austin Rivers is
on assignment at a British outpost in Antarctica when it is attacked by Special
Forces from Argentina. This attack leads to war at sea between the British and
their allies from Chile and Argentina and their allies from Venezuela. The
battle ensues and ships and subs are lost. The British are finally forced to
seek help from the United States. Can this battle end before more lives are
lost and more families are separated forever?
I feel
like I am sort of on the fence about this book. It was a pretty interesting
story and I really enjoyed learning a bit more about life in Antarctica. But, I
think the book was too military to really excite me. There was too much jargon,
too many maps inserted in the book. The characters seemed a bit flat and all of
their relationships moved a bit fast. I don’t think I will be reading the rest
of the books in this series. But, if you like military books, this would
probably be a good one for you.
