Item Description...
In the world's most barren, desolate landscape. An enigma beneath the ice is about to be revealed.
Perry Sachs, vice president and senior project manager for Sachs Engineering, is renowned for overcoming seemingly impossible challenges-those which others in his field deem insurmountable. But when Perry and his team are called to Antarctica for an excavation job, the scoreboard is reset--and it's any body's game. It's a game in which severe conditions, unexpected tragedy, unknown threats, and the rise of a mysterious adversary have escalated the stakes to a deadly level. Can Perry's faith sustain him amidst forces intent of destruction? Can his team accomplish the unthinkable?
Alton Gansky is the award winning author of numerous suspense novels, including the first Perry Sachs book, A Treasure Deep. A former firefighter, he now serves as a senior pastor in California.

 | The main course is frostbite! The appetizers are chills. Enjoy! Oct 6, 2006 |
This is Perry Sachs book #2, so I realize that I'm a little bit behind on a few Gansky thrillers. I guess I always have some catching up to do. But this was great! For me it took a few pages for this to pick up, but once it did it happened rather nicely. So, if you happened to read "A Treasure Deep," then you can expect appearances from Jack Dyson, Gleason, and if you know Gansky's writing, a few surprises. With a title such as "Beneath the Ice," it isn't a shock that Antarctica is the setting for this, HMM, (how exactly do you put it?) CHILLER THRILLER!
So, as the title obviously suggests, there IS something beneath the ice, and Perry and his crew just might be the ones to discover it. I probably made the mistake of picking this up in the beginning of Fall, so I guess the chills of Winter won't hit me too bad. The question is, what is beneath that ice? Some suggest a pyramid, some a ziggurat. What's the difference, let what alone is a ZIGGURAT? Read it and find out. It really is quite interesting. What you can't really get past with Gansky is this: There will be adversity! And it won't be pretty either. This also has the undertone of idol worship in it. In The Bible, there were a lot of false gods, and Marduk is the focus of the enemy in this. Gansky happens to mention Baal, which I give him credit for. Baal was notorious for hideous things. Baal Molech was specifically hideous. SO, to not really give anything away, this might be a reminder to some the first commandment... YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME! This also spoke to me as a message of doing your best for our Father, despite the circumstances.
Alton Gansky has done it again! You can never accuse him of cooking up a boring plot, and if you DO accuse him, you most likely won't prove it. If I were to compare this to a meal, I'd say that frostbite would easily be the main course, with plenty of chills to tease the appetite! Finish the meal, and you just might get some pie for dessert. Hey, with all things considered, it goes down pretty well. Awesome job! | | |  | Chilled me to the bone Mar 25, 2006 |
| Overall a good book and a well done continuation of the Sach's Engineering group. If you've read the first in the series "A Treasure Deep" you've got to admit Perry and his crew are a great group of guys. Their dedication to the job, one another and to Christ makes for a real catechism between themselves and the bad element in the book. Alton Gansky weaves a compelling story and once it gets going it's quite a page turner. My problem with the story is that the bad guys were a bit over-the-top. Did they really need to be involved in a world-wide conspiracy? Couldn't they have just been a cult of evil that had money and a goal to resurrect their god? If you think about it did they really have a chance of getting away with their plan? I don't think so. Common sense aside it's a fun book, Jack is hilarious as usual, Perry is a strong leader and the characters make for a very good book. Read it under a blanket while drinking hot tea...it's a really cold story. | | | | I'm really enjoying this book and would give it 5 stars... Jan 25, 2005 |
except for the irritating inconsistancies and inaccuracies in the author's descriptions of the aircraft used in the story. Granted, these would go unnoticed by many readers but I am an avid aviation enthusiast (some would say "nut") and these things bother me and show a lack of technical research done by the writer. Specifically, he mentions the C-5 Galaxy cargo plane numerous times. For one thing he describes it as being ski-equipped for landing on the ice. First, no C-5 I'm aware of has ever been equipped with skis. I have seen pictures of real ones having landed on the Antarctic ice and they use their wheels. Besides the stuctural and aerodynamic complications of equipping such a huge aircraft with skis, imagine the results of landing on a conventional runway when it returned to it's base! Even worse, several times in the book he describes the C-5 as being propeller driven! That is inexcusable. OK, many reading this will think I'm being picky, and you may be right, but the little things are what seperate a good book from an excellent book.
That rant aside, I will admit that I am a big fan of Gansky's books and this is definitly a page turner. Highly recommended! | | | | could have been better Sep 7, 2004 |
| Story is interesting but not mind blowing. Still, worth a look. | | | | A building is discovered under the ice in Antartica...... Aug 29, 2004 |
This is first book I have read by Alton Gansky, but based on how much I enjoyed this one it will not be the last. I picked it up to use some time on an airplane flight recently and was so captured by the story I quickly finished it from home.
The book starts with a discovery of a building under thousands of feet of ice in Antarctica, which was just a coincidence given that the research team was there to try and understand why an underground (under ice?) lake was expanding. So, from the outset you are wondering which direction the book would take? Global warming? UFO discovery? Scientific exploration?
I will not spoil the plot further by giving away the story, but suffice it to say that you will enjoy the book. The main characters are depicted with some depth to give the story realism and the action and suspense never stop. By combining ancient religious beliefs, modern technology and discovery into secret societies and infiltration all the way to the White House, it has all the makings of a great mystery thriller. You can't ask for more than that. Well written, and enjoyable. When is the movie coming?
