A breathtaking discovery at the top of the world . . .
A terrifying collision between modern science and Native
American legend . . .
An electrifying new thriller from New York Times
bestselling author Lincoln Child.
Two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle lies Alaska’s
Federal Wildlife Zone, one of the most remote and
inhospitable places on Earth. But for paleoecologist Evan
Marshall and a small group of fellow scientists, an
expedition to the Zone represents a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to study the effects of global warming.
Everything about the expedition changes, however, with an
astonishing find. On a routine exploration of a glacial ice
cave, the group discovers an enormous ancient animal,
encased in solid ice. The media conglomerate sponsoring
their research immediately intervenes and arranges the
ultimate spectacle—the creature will be cut from the ice,
thawed, and revealed live on television. Despite dire
warnings from the local Native American village, and the
scientific concerns of Marshall and his team,
the “docudrama” plows ahead . . . until the scientists make
one more horrifying discovery. The beast is no regular
specimen—it may be an ancient killing machine. And they may
be premature in believing it dead.
In this riveting new thriller, Lincoln Child weaves
together a stunning Arctic landscape, a terrifying mythic
creature, and a pervasive mood of chaos—and fear. With
Terminal Freeze, Child demonstrates why he has become a
major bestselling author, and why his novels electrify and
enthrall so many.
