Ice Tomb

By Deborah Jackson

I am a closet science fiction fan. I love reading Piers Anthony, Anne McCaffrey, Terry Goodkind, and J.R.R. Tolkien. I had, however, never heard of this author or book. I actually judged the book by the cover and thought it would be a bad read. Needless to say, I was proved wrong. (Yes, I am wrong every NOW and then!!) It actually was a page turner and I found myself wanting to skip ahead and read the ending. After reading the book, I found out is was rated highly in reviews.
This novel starts out like most science fiction novels, with an unexplained scientific phenomenon. Two of the scientists hand-picked to investigate the phenomenon have a rocky past which adds to the intrigue of the book. Add in a trip to the moon, the lost continent of Atlantis, and romance and you have this novel in a nutshell. This book is a must for avid science fiction fans.
