Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:The most dangerous place on Earth
A devious and deadly plan to save humanity from itself
A lone scientist battling the clock and ruthless enemies to avert global catastrophe
 
The Deep Zone was hailed as ??an absolutely phenomenal read by the new Michael Crichton? (Brad Thor), a book that ??should come shrink-wrapped with a seat belt? (Steve Berry). Now, bestselling author James M. Tabor ups the ante and the action in his second extreme thriller, as brilliant and battle-tested heroine Hallie Leland confronts intrigue and murder in the most unforgiving place on Earth.
 
The South Pole??s Amundsen Scott Research Station is like an outpost on Mars.  Winter temperatures average 100 degrees below zero; week-long hurricane-force storms rage; for eight months at a time the station is shrouded in darkness. Under the stress, bodies suffer and minds twist. Panic, paranoia, and hostility prevail. 
 
When a South Pole scientist dies mysteriously, CDC microbiologist Hallie Leland arrives to complete crucial research. Before she can begin, three more women inexplicably die. As failing communications and plunging temperatures cut the station off from the outside world, terror rises and tensions soar. Amidst it all, Hallie must crack the mystery of her predecessor??s death.
 
In Washington, D.C., government agency director Don Barnard and enigmatic operative Wil Bowman detect troubling signs of shadowy behavior at the South Pole and realize that Hallie is at the heart of it. Unless Barnard and Bowman can track down the mastermind, a horrifying act of global terror, launched from the station, will change the planet forever??and Hallie herself will be the unwitting instrument of destruction.
 
As the Antarctic winter sweeps in, severing contact with the outside world, Hallie must trust no one, fear everyone, and fight to keep the frigid prison from becoming her frozen grave.

Written very well, with thoughtful descriptions of the environment and its harshness. Intriguing plot; can't say I disagree with what the bad guys were trying to do!! It was a pretty good idea, in theory anyway ( )

Not as good as his first, but still as fun to read. Plot gives some pause as it still pertinent even a couple years later. ( )

I think I might have had a higher rating for this book had I read it instead of listened to it.
Tabor's prose is highly descriptive. He'll tell you every single item of clothing and gear that the person has on, each and every step taken during a procedure. The minutia might be okay reading but in audio format it's like a one-way conversation with someone who just doesn't know to stop talking when you've obviously had enough.
Meh. I'm always on the lookout for a good Thriller but I think I've had my fill of Tabor. ( )

Probably a 3.5. I honestly did not find it quite as engaging as the first entry in the series. It didn't seem to take as long to read it, and I note now that it is a little shorter than the first one. Regardless, I like the story and the characters and hope there will be more. I am fan of science-y stuff. In a really weird coincidence, I am also reading [b:The Naked and the Dead|12467|The Naked and the Dead|Norman Mailer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388181219s/12467.jpg|2223651], and I stopped for a moment yesterday morning to look up "Malthusian law" when it was mentioned in that book and it rang a bell in my distant memory. When I picked this up again last night to finish it, by golly, it turned out that it was exactly what Frozen Solid was about. And while Malthus was definitely not all right, I do believe he was far from all wrong. ( )

In this entertaining follow up to Deep Zone, Hallie Leland is reunited with Wil Bowman to combat a hidden biological killer in Antarctica. The mental and physical strain of isolation and severe weather takes a toll on Leland and the rest of the crew at a remote scientific outpost. ( )
