The holy grail of science and computing…
A technology worth killing for…
Has been created.
For years, computer scientists have been working on a single, massive project.
It was said to be impossible.
Humanity itself may hang in the balance, and a single corporation controls its fate
Artificial intelligence is everywhere – in the cars we drive, in the appliances in our homes, and in the computers we use for work and pleasure. But this “intelligence” is lacking in one simple, yet major, way.
It is not human.
Near the McMurdo Station on the continent of Antarctica, a signal is seen and intercepted by a telecommunications company. They don’t understand what the signal means, but whoever sent it is illegally using the company’s restricted technology and satellites.
Harvey “Ben” Bennett and Juliette Richardson are approached to join an expedition to Antarctica to find the source of the signal, and bring back whatever technology is hidden there.
After trekking through the Amazon Rainforest and narrowly escaping death at Yellowstone National Park, Ben has little interest in yet another dangerous mission, but there is one reason he accepts the job:
Draconis Industries, the company that was behind the mass genocide at Yellowstone and the heinous crimes in the Amazon.
Together, Ben and Julie, joined by new teammates Reggie and Joshua Jefferson, must visit the coldest continent on Earth to uncover what Draconis Industries is trying desperately to keep hidden.
Another 5***** Thriller from Nick Thacker The frozen, windswept landscape of Antarctica is the setting for the exciting third book in Nick Thacker’s Harvey “Ben” Bennett earthly sci fi trilogy. Ben and his girlfriend, Julie, are continuing their search for an evil terrorist organization.Â
What a ride!! I have read the other two Harvey Bennet thrillers that Nick Thacker has written and they were great. Ice Chasm however is way above those two. Watch out James Patterson, Daniel Silvia and other thriller authors. There is a new guy in town! This book was so good I literally could not put it down. You have no idea what is going to happen next and are totally surprised at the twists and turns this book takes. How Harvey and the rest of the crew get out of the predicaments they end up in. You’re…
Interesting story. Lots of action. Terrible editing. With great respect for indie writers/publishers, I have to say the huge number of typos and simple grammatical errors in The Ice Chasm were distracting. When I buy a book, even an indie book, I expect text that shows evidence of at least rudimentary editorial attention. I agree with others’ assessment that The Ice Chasm is the most interesting story line so far in this series. But at least in the Kindle edition, editorial quality control has led to an amateurish product.
