Ice reich

the long version

In 1938, Bush pilot Owen Hart is recruited by Germany's fanatical new government to play a crucial role in a top-secret expedition to Antarctica. But, beneath the ice, a deadly discovery awaits and the fate of the world hangs in balance. As atmospheric as Peter Hoeg's Smilla's Sense of Snow but with high-wire action, this absorbing debut thriller set in Antarctica pits an American adventurer against Nazis bent on deploying the ultimate weapon.
