This book might be fiction, but BOY does it make you think a lot. Many countries are fighting to get what’s underneath, but the conflict might bring up more bad than good… With everything melting in the North Pole who has rights to what’s underneath? There’s so much down there – natural resources, potential creatures that could ruin humanity, extinct animals… You know, all the good stuff. I honestly enjoyed seeing the different takes this book has! The initial introduction chapter didn’t grab my attention at all, but once I got into the meat of the book I quite enjoyed it! Hanne was also far more interesting than what the initial meeting with her suggests.īut, what about the plot? I can hear you guys just screaming at me. The environmental concerns are also right up front and written all over. This book has a lot of political points throughout – Russian, Chinese, the works.

Basically, they pull you in and take you down for one heck of a fun (reading) ride. They always welcome you into the story, fill you with curiosity, and then let you sat the world on fire with them. This is pretty typical for Geza’s books – a smart, intriguing lead who’s going to set themselves up for one heck of a journey. Hanne Kristensen, our lead, is a Danish geologist who wants to save the world (that’s not a tall order or anything).

This thriller sets us up in the melting polar icecaps. I always like to think it’s that old saying, “You won’t know unless you try it.” Geza is that flavour of historical fiction that makes me go, “Yeah, this is good.”Īnywho, this book needs an actual review, doesn’t it? He is able to grab my attention and keep it, all due to his writing style and prose. Geza is one of the few authors that can write history and get me into it. And then, Geza Tatrallyay stumbles into my reading sphere. I’d rather watch a television show that shows history than read it.

History is cool and I love learning the non-fiction side of it, but history in fiction normally turns me off.

Let me be clear, I’m not a big fan of reading history in fiction. Geza Tatrallyay is at it again with another fantastic read! Arctic Meltdown is an excellent book to pick up if you love history and mystery.
