I enjoyed this thriller ....
I read this book when it came out years ago and loved it , therefore I wanted it now as an audiobook read out to me - and again I loved the book, as I had forgotten all about the plot ...
fast moving and enticing ...

Okay
A couple of things going against it...really bad attempts at accents and irritating halts in the narrative. Aside from that it's entertaining enough I guess.

fantastic book
Another great book by Matthew Reilly, I first read it many years ago and am now working my way back through his book with Audible. Once again, the book was narrated excellently by Sean Mangan

Exciting
I have been a fan of these books for years, but this is the first I have enjoyed them through Audible and it was just as exciting as reading it to myself. I love the story, it's fast-paced adrenalin rush keeps me hooked on every page. And the narrator for the audio book managed to capture that energy. Loved it

It could have been fantastic....
Fantastic writing, fantastic narration but a story far too exaggerated to relate to as a credible action novel. The main character's exploits make James Bond look tame. You'll listen once but you won't dig out in a year and re-listen.

As fast and actioned packed as you can get!
The first of the 'Scarecrow' series this introduces the main characters and sets the pace for all Matthew Reilly's Novels.
Pure Escapism with unbelievable twists and turns and more lucky and creative escapes than the love child of Blackadder and Houdini.
Set in a snowy ice blasted hell hole you won't believe how much action fits in such a small area.
If you haven't heard any of these yet you will download more once you have heard this one Guaranteed!

Ice Station - nonstop action
Non stop action, edge of seat. Couldn't wait to get back to it. This is one extremely lucky guy though. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I love Scarecrow!
Ice Station was the second Matthew Reilly book that I ever listened to and I fell in love with the characters.
If you're looking for a great action adventure series featuring larger than life characters then Ice Station is a great introduction.
Based in and around an Antarctic research station where Shane Schofield (Scarecrow) and his team have been sent in to provide assistance after an emergency signal was received.
The book is action packed and full of twists and turns that the first-time reader doesn't see coming. I've listened to this book several times and I don't see some of them coming, even now.
Spaceships, multi-national military forces, diving bells, killer whales and more all feature in this book.
I have just finished listening again and I'm waiting patiently on book 5 in the series.
Sean Mangan's narration is perfect. His characterisations just fit so well.

Weak plot, too many "deus ex machina".
Weak plot, too many "deus ex machina". Maybe ok for a reader after a few solid drinks, once brain is running at 20% of its normal operation.
