Gain Ice Tomb Presented By Deborah Jackson Conveyed As Interactive EBook
Great read I loved the science and archaeology aspects of this book,
I highly recommend it, I couldn't put it down, Really good
I was surprised by this book, I had a hard time putting it down so I could sleep a little, The ideas in it caught me by surprise, I really liked it. I hope her other books are just as good, I will find out.
Ruby Empecé el añocon mal pie, y es que no me ha gustado nada este libro, Me ha resultado pesado, aburrido, y encima con la típica historia romántica de chica que, a pesar de ser un genio en su trabajo y tener supuestamente un carácter fuerte, necesita tener al chico dominante a su lado.
Puafff.
Está catalogado como libro de ciencia ficción, con suspense, pero con tanto toque romántico no se yo,
Para darle más "empaque" al libro, la autora se pierde en explicaciones científicas que creo que sólo Einstein puede entender, Así que hay páginas del libro que para el común de los mortales son infumables, Very interesting story line yet lacks depth in literacy maturity and shows an over maturity in scientific content, I could suspend my disbelief for a lot of the wackier versions of the story, which I will not mention so I can avoid major spoilers,
But two things I can't forgive:, On my version of the book, there was a polar bear on the cover, This takes place in Antarctica, Probably a failure on the publisher's/book designer's part but still,. How did David manage to successfully steal Erica's thesis Yes, he took the printed copy and wiped all the backups she had saved on computers, But surely during
the time of writing her thesis, she had consulted with professors and other professionals in her field Surely this was not her one and only draft that she kept secret until ready to turn in And then what of David presenting it Wouldn't the panel or whoever he had to share 'his' thesis with have seen that he obviously didn't know what the paper was talking about
But otherwise, a light and entertaining read.
This an interesting read. Jackson did a good job blending portions of hard scfi with fantasy scfi, The action takes place inbrutal unforgiving environments, the moon amp Antarctica, There are mysteries about the disappearance of teams sent out before Daniel's team, Also mysteries that require a volcanologist,
Some of my favorite reads about people pitted against tremendously dangerous environments that they have to battle for survival, Sometimes the objective is accomplished sometimes it's not, Woundering who if any will make it back to safety, The year is. Deep within the Antarctic Ice Sheet a hotspot suddenly appears on satellite tracking, The US science team, sent from McMurdo Station to investigate, finds an icy graveyard, Minutes later, their transmission is cut off, The last sounds heard over the radio are their screams,
NASA lures volcanologist Erica Daniels to a conference in Houston by promising to consider her for their upcoming missionestablishing the first moon base, Instead, her archrival and exlover, David Marsh, gets the plum assignment, while shes sent to Antarctica to lead a new team beneath the ice, An irritating British archaeologist and a brilliant Russian astrophysicist join her on a journey through unforgiving snowscapes and mysterious ice tunnels, They present her with extraordinary suggestions for the origin of the hotspot, Along the way, Erica unearths scientific marvels that might just prove her own theory, But why is the ice sheet littered with bodies Is the activity under the ice the remnants of an ancient civilization or is there a more sinister explanation To discover the truth Erica will have to join forces with the man she despisesa man whos on the moon.
A Note From the Author
Dear Potential Reader,
Ice Tomb is a novel I wrote ten years ago, I attempted a rewrite, performed some minor surgery, but ultimately made few changes since other projects were consuming my time and imagination, It blends ROMANTIC elements with SCIFI both hard science and fantastical, Although several critics enjoyed the story, it has flawsthe product of an initial effort and a Hollywoodinfluenced imaginationwhich is why I've rereleased it as acent "fun read" rather than serious, thoughtprovoking SF.
Enjoy!

Editors Pick
“She may be a new kid on the science fiction block, but Ottawa writer Deborah Jackson could well rank up there one day with the likes of Isaac Asimov or Arthur C.
Clarke. ”
“Ice Tomb is surprising not just for its entirely believable plot and wellcrafted suspense, but because it has all the earmarks of a tale written by a scifi master.
”
Mike Gillespie, The Ottawa Citizen Futuristic thriller,
I like how Deborah Jackson used the story of Atlantis for part of her plot, Strong female characters enrich a typically male driven plot involving Antarctica and the moon, Writing is excellent. I loved the teleportation and the physics review, This made for a good rereadyears after I bought it, A very creative and interesting book, I really enjoyed this one, The story was unique enough to keep me interested, but the author needs to give her characters more to do to express themselves other than raising eyebrows, biting lower lips, and traipsing all over.

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I went to BookSale and purchased five books which cost ten pesos each.
Pretty cheap right One of the books we bought was Ice Tomb, a science fiction written by Deborah Jackson,
I am not a scifi fan so I didnt expect that this book would excite me and make me want to read inside a moving vehicle, I dont normally do that nono for our eyes!, But Ice Tomb is just worth all the trouble, It is sooo good.
Ice Tomb is a story about Erica and David, scientists rivals and exlovers, Erica Daniels is a volcanologist whose dream was to set foot on the moon, She thought she had a chance a this dream when NASA invited her to a conference, Instead, she was sent to Antarctica where a “hotspot” suddenly appeared, Worse, David Marsh was the one who got sent to the moon,
Erica soon discovered that the “hotspot” wasnt only about the unusual thermal activity in the Antarctic Ice Sheet, There are bodies trapped in ice, David, on the other hand, discovered something equally unusual on the moon,
Ice Tomb, at ten pesos, is a rare find, It is totally gripping. I found myself hooked after the first chapter and as I went on further, I didnt want to stop reading, It gets exciting with every chapter it almost felt like I was watching a mysteryslashsuspenseslashromantic movie, Yes, theres a romantic element, too, Whats good about this book is that its romantic twist didnt take the focus off the suspense, It has just the right balance between Erica and Davids love story and their mysterious quest,
I must commend Deborah Jackson for writing a gem, The book is really wellresearched, Youd feel as if youre really in Antarctica or on the moon once youve read this, I also love Ericas character, All that women empowerment fits the story, Plus, this book clearly shows that behind every mans success is a woman, Literally.
The novel may have weaknesses but I barely noticed them because the good points are just overpowering, I really loved this book and I hope more people gets to read this, I enjoyed the tale and didn't want to put it down, I had this book in my kindle since! Dont know why I didnt read it sooner, This was a great book and I just didnt want to stop reading, Loved how it moved between Antarctic and the moon, So many surprises in between, A really great story. Recommend. This one goes in some in some strange directions in the beginning only to take some twists and turns that bring things back around in some unexpected ways, Then everything ends with a conclusion that I didn't anticipate, This story grabbed my interest right from the start its fast paced and interesting, and I had a hard time putting it down, I especially liked the main character, Erica, Shes not particularly likable, but that just made her more realistic and interesting to me, I also liked the way author Deborah Jackson captured the competitive and often ruthless nature of the academic world, I live and work in that world every day and the events in this book were entirely believable to me, Also, the science seemed well researched and credible, The storyline was really unique and the ending was unexpected something that always appeals to me,
