Title: Fiction with a capital F
Review: Ice Station was an absolutely thrilling read for about the first three chapters. Thereafter the military inaccuracies began to irritate me, and made me question any other 'facts' that Matt Reilly came up with. Geological, biological, political ideas and scenarios all lost their credibility after a while. Clancy, Ludlum, and Le Carre all have found the knack writing their novels on the bleeding edge of reality and credibility; unfortunately Reilly ends up so far removed from that edge that I ended up laughing through the final chapters, and giggling to myself as the hero (who was quite obviously based on 'Batman') escaped certain death for every other page. Even Ian Flemming or Dale Brown aren't that cheesy. However, with a little more accurate research and a more believable hero, Reilly has got a cracking style of writing and despite myself I shall probably get his next novel: just for a laugh.
