Beyond the Ice Limit

Preston and Child's new Gideon Crew novel resolves the cliffhanger at the end of their bestselling thriller, The Ice Limit.

Gideon Crew races to destroy an extraterrestrial organism that has embedded itself in the sea bed and threatens the very existence of humankind.

60° SOUTH:
NOTHING BUT SEA, ICE AND UNFETTERED STORMS.
BUT TWO MILES DOWN, SOMETHING IS STIRRING.

Five years ago, Eli Glinn led a mission to recover a 25,000-ton meteorite - the largest ever discovered - from a remote island off the coast of South America. It ended in disaster when their ship foundered and broke apart in a vicious storm.

But now, two miles down in dark Antarctic waters, something is growing. A vast, grotesque structure is simultaneously reaching up towards the waves and burrowing deep into the sea floor. Eli Glinn's worst fear has been realised. He has no choice but to return to the Southern Ocean and attempt to annihilate an entity that threatens the existence of the planet.

But, as he will discover, the entity has no intention of going quietly.

For those who like their thrillers flavoured with outlandish science, possible alien threat and potential global extinction, the name, or rather names, to watch is that of writing duo Preston & Child. In fact you might say that Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have cornered this rather exclusive market and their latest, Beyond the Ice Limit, contains all the crowd-pleasing ingredients one has come to expect
