Chronicle In Favor Of Books Ice Station Zebra

Under the Polar Ice-Cap ....

The atomic submarine 'Dolphin' has impossible orders: to sail beneath the ice-floes of the Arctic Ocean to locate and rescue the men of weather-station Zebra, gutted by fire and drifting with the ice-pack somewhere north of the Arctic Circle.

But the orders do not say what the 'Dolphin' will find if she succeeds – that the fire at Ice Station Zebra was sabotage, and that one of the survivors is a killer…

Not perfect, but has aged much better than Ian Fleming's novels about James Bond and stands heads and shoulders above most modern spy thriller books that's for certain. (Tom Clancy and his ilk) The characters are pretty well-defined with distinctive personalities even though not many words are spent on their characterization, the plot actually takes its time to build up logically and the prose can occasionally get quite beautiful when describing the Arctic landscape. Speaking of that: It's also

Ok, I enjoyed the book but frankly the movie SUCKED big time. Even Ernest Borgnine (who is a great character actor, btw) couldn't save this one. His character didn't even appear in the book, the whole ending was messed up and. . .Oh wait, I'm supposed to be reviewing the BOOK. :o)The book is a great read, but then I haven't found a single one of Maclean's books that I didn't enjoy.I like the interplay between the characters in this one and the descriptions of the ice pack actually made me feel

Ice Station Zebra was pretty good - once you got halfway or more into it. Before that time, it felt quite plodding ... far from engaging. This is the reason I knocked off one star from the review. It also didn't help that the narrator was a bit on the dull side. Otherwise, I'd have given it four stars because when everything came together it was fairly solid.However, I also have to add that when the bad guy was 'revealed' at the end, it wasn't surprising, as I'd already pegged who the villain

One of the best thrillers I ever read - MacLean was a master spy novelist and one of the best 20th century thriller writers.

Alistair MacLean never fails to deliver with his novels.I initially picked out this book because I like reading about polar expeditions, both real and imagined. And I have had other MacLean books sitting under my bed waiting to be read.This story didnt disappoint. It was non stop action all the way through. And part of me kept thinking about the Jules Verne book I had recently read.Even though this story was written in the 1960s, it is not dated at all. Much of the technology in this book is

One part Agatha Christie, one part Hunt for Red October, this ended up being better than I thought it would be, because I had some real doubts over the first 75 or so pages. It really plods along over those early few chapters, taking a while to set up the story, show each of the main characters, show you the ship in what feels like more detail than needed, although youre aware that a lot of it will come into play later, and it does. Once the ship is finally underway, however, the adventure picks
