About the Book

Adventurer Carl Norland and celebrity explorer Julian Fitzgerald have teamed up in an attempt to walk across Antarctica at its widest point, a crossing of some 2,000 frozen miles. Success would place their names alongside those of such polar legends as Scott, Shackleton, and Admundsen, but when their goal proves beyond their reach, a frantic rescue begins. Hundreds of miles away at drilling station Capricorn, scientist Laura Burgess and her team have made a discovery that will stagger the scientific world. News of their discovery must wait, however, as an urgent plea for rescue reaches the remote camp. Into a gathering storm, the rescuers race to snatch the dying adventurers from nature's hungry grasp. But even the Antarctic's unending whiteness cannot hide the utter darkness of a madman's heart. Just as salvation seems imminent, a terrible secret threatens to turn the saviors into unwitting victims. And all the while, nature gathers her strength, determined to lay claim to them all "

Review :
OUTSTANDING REVIEWS FOR MATT DICKINSON'S "BLACK ICE" "A really taut thriller full of suspense and genuinely exciting." --"Publishing News" (U.K.) "A ripping good adventure yarn with a thoroughly admirable heroine, a suitably black-hearted villain and such vivid descriptions of the sheer agony and awfulness of Antarctica you'll be reaching for the central heating switch as you read." --"Irish Independent" "Matt Dickinson writes a taut thriller set in the icy wastes in such a way that you have to keep reading. Reaching the end will leave you impatient for his next book." --"Yorkshire"" Gazette & Herald (""U.K."")" "Exciting and fascinating reading." --"Daily Mail" (U.K.) THE CRITICS ALSO LOVE MATT DICKINSON'S "THE OTHER SIDE OF EVEREST " "Dickinson has an eye for meaningful detail and storytelling talent--a rollicking, insightful, and harrowing ride." --"The New York Times Review of Books" "Gripping--the action more than lives up to its promise. Dickinson takes the reader through the steps of his climb with humor, wisdom and a minimum of bravado--a thought-provoking exploration of nature and man's will to master it." --"Los Angeles"" Daily News" "Dickinson brings the fresh perspective and wide eyes of the novice to mountaineering's most enduring saga--the result is an absorbing narrative that vividly portrays, step by agonizing step, his slow climb to the summit." --"Mercator's World" "Although Dickinson's work follows in the tracks of Jon Krakauer's INTO THIN AIR and Anatoli Boukreev's THE CLIMB, it is anything but a 'me too' book about climbing Mt. Everest during the spring of 1996 ... Dickinson has his own story to tell, and he tells it very well.... [His] descriptions of climbing are careful and informative, taking nothing for granted. His forceful narrative makes a worthy addition to the growing Everest library." --"Publishers Weekly" (Starred Review!) "Dickinson's book reads like a thriller, pacy and exciting, giving a good flavor of the sublime misery of climbing at extreme altitude. It is a real page-turner ... fresh and vivid." --Guardian "Gripping." --"The Sunday Times" (London) "[His] excitement at being there is infectious." --"Times Literary Supplement" "This is a gripping account of filming--and surviving--in the death zone." --"Mail on Sunday" (London)
