Ice Station Zebra

Summary: I got transported inside the book while reading:-)
Review: This book is damn exciting and it is the best suspense I have read uptil now. Please do not miss reading this after you see this review. The hero has some other ideas which you will not be able to guess till the last. Now, have I given out the story? Do not worry, I haven't. There is much much more.

Summary: Cold, dramatic, and flawless
Review: This is one of Alistair Maclean's best novels. From the time the American nuclear submarine Dolphin moves under the Arctic ice, you know it's not going to be an easy trip. From the sabotage of the torpedo tube, to the cold war double-crossing action at Ice Station Zebra, this novel is fast-paced, while still making you cold reading it. If you haven't read Maclean before, start with this one. I read it the first time when I was twelve years old and I re-read it every other year.

Summary: Cliff-hanger
Review: This is one of the best books from this author, apart from Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare. You can never guess what happens next. Narrator lets the reader know only what is necessary at the moment. Excellent plot and dramatic narration. Brillient book.

Summary: Simply the Best!
Review: This is the way action novels should be written: taut, interesting,and loaded with realistic plot twists. Anyone writing a thriller today would do well to read this novel and realize that true writing does not require heavy amounts of sick, glossy violence and unneccessary sex. Besides a crackling story, the characters are smart and show a good bit of depth. It requires you to figure who the antagonist might be. One of my favorite passages is during the accident in the Engineroom...talk abut cold! But I won't say anymore because I do not wish to ruin anymore of the plot. Bruce from Camaroon take a clue: No one reads these reviews to be told who the bad guy is, that's what keeps them reading. All and all an excellent read!

Review: Two thumbs up! This book really kept me on the edge of my seat. The definitive thriller. Excellent narration style that just chains your attention, chilling action that never slackens, and a really brilliant plot...vintage Maclean.

Summary: Tension and adventure under and on the polar icecap.
Review: Unlike some of this author's novels, Ice Station Zebra is an easy-to-read, quick moving story that doesn't bore. Forget the movie (except you can visualize some of the actors as you read since casting was well done.) The action aboard the submarine provides some tense reading moments.
