Title: a disappointing effort by the author
Review: This is 2 books, and the first book is ok and the second is unreadable. The first is a story of assorted characters in Antartica in the near future, with lots of geology, weather and exploration history which you should want to read or you should avoid the book altogther. However, it more of a descriptive overview of the area disguised as an novel, and the plot is thin, illogical and filled with subplots that are allowed to wither away without any real development. Then the last third of the book kicks in, and that is the second book. In the guise of various characters speaking, it is a mish-mash of uninteresting political views about assorted environmental topics. Much of it is lioterally in the form of multi-page speeches by the characters, and so isnt even arguably hidden away in an interesting plot line. At that point my close reading accelerated into skim-overdrive and the book became, overall, a failed effort not worth reading.
