About this listen
The award-winning author of the Mars trilogy takes listeners to the last pure wilderness on Earth in this powerful and majestic novel.
It is a stark and inhospitable place, where the landscape itself poses a challenge to survival, yet its strange, silent beauty has long fascinated scientists and adventurers.
Now Antarctica faces an uncertain future. The international treaty which protects the continent is about to dissolve, clearing the way for Antarctica’s resources to be plundered, its eerie beauty to be savaged. As politicians wrangle over its fate, major corporations begin probing for its hidden riches. Adventurers come, as they have for more than a century, seeking the wild, untamed land even as they endanger it with their ever-growing numbers. And radical environmentalists carry out a covert campaign of sabotage to reclaim the land from those who would destroy it for profit. All who come here have their own agenda, and all will fight to ensure their vision of the future for the remote and awe-inspiring world at the South Pole.

excruciating 'kiwi' accent
I love this book which I've read a few times. this was my first time listening to the audio book. The narrator is very good on USA accents but omg, what butchering of new Zealand and Australia characters. fortunately it's not too much of the overall performance which is otherwise excellent.

An unexpected gem
I started this book as something to fall asleep to: a story I didn't really care about that I could drift in and out of. But that didn't last long!
By the time I was a quarter of the way through I was habitually rewinding to the point I last remembered so I didn't miss anything and the final few chapters were so absorbing and engaging that I couldn't possibly use the book to fall asleep to.
Great performance, interesting plot and fantastic setting for this lover of all things Antarctic.

dreamy
for a while I was expecting the monsters to come, but it turned out to be an interesting introspection into Antarctic life
