Publisher's summary
They call it simply "the object."
It sits at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, waiting.
Waiting...for what?
An American research ship disappears in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea only to reappear a few days later. When a special US Coast Guard unit boards the vessel, they find it deserted, its power grid wrecked, two bombs waiting to explode, and an even darker secret hidden below her decks.
A few miles across the international maritime boundary, a massive Russian oil platform harbors its own secret. Below the behemoth lies a mysterious energy source so powerful it threatens to topple the balance of world power in favor of Moscow.
The Russians will to kill to protect it. The Americans will kill to stop its recovery.
And still...the object waits.
"Martin Roy Hill's Polar Melt is the fast lane to the headlines of the future. Fasten your seat belts and hang on! You're in for on a wild ride." (G. M. Ford, author of the Leo Waterman series)

Story
Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

Brick Maxwell and his glory-seeking commanding officer, Killer Delancey, to keep the peace by a narrow margin - a margin called the No-Fly Zone. The Iraqi MiG pilots buzz the borders - just close enough to shake up the U.S. Hornets' nest. And the rules of engagement require the Hornets to hold their fire unless the Iraqis show hostile intent.

In the tradition of Shadow Divers, the story of the courageous men who dived on the last sunken U-Boat off the Eastern Seaboard. On April 16, 1944, the tanker SS Pan Pennsylvania was torpedoed and sunk by the U-550. In return the sub was sent to the bottom by three destroyer escorts that were guarding the convoy. For more than 60 years the location of the U-boat's wreck eluded divers. In 2012 a team found it.

Great Story Premise
Great Story Premise. Very original. Narration was a little too soft for the characters/plot IMO. But overall, great Story

Solid sequel
This is a solid sequel to the Amazon Code. There are however a bunch of new characters whose motivations are meant to be mysterious... but it makes them oddly 2-D. There’s as much action as can be had in a single station with cold outside. Overall though it answered a bunch of questions raised in the Amazon Vode, it was way too long for its plot with a bunch of seemingly pointless “have to get from Ato B” drama and gun battles.
I think this is the end of this series for me.
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

A Chilling Thriller
I was enthralled with this book from the opening paragraph to the end. Once I started it, I had to finish. I found the setting to be unusual as it was placed in the Arctic Sea. I enjoyed the twists and turns that made up the plot. I really liked the characters that made up the special Coast Guard unit. I am interested in more books about them. I recommend this story to others who enjoy this genre. Tim Danko's narration was entertaining and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

A military style thriller with paranormal elements
*This book was given to me by the author at my request, and I provided this voluntary, unbiased review.*
3.8/5
While I do enjoy a good military strike/Tomy Clancy type thriller, this one felt flat for me. I do feel that it was well-written and the plot was interesting enough, it just wasnt for me. As such, I left a fair rating for what I felt was true to what the rating should be rather than a biased rating. I may not be interested in this line of books, but I would definitely recommend this author and book to fans of this genre and style.
