A stunning and suspenseful thriller, about humanity's continuous and sometimes futile battle against nature from one of the most popular and bestselling authors in America. Conducting a strange and urgent experiment of the Arctic icefield, a team of scientists has planted sixty powerful explosive charges that will detonate at midnight. Before they can withdraw to the safety of the base camp, a shattering tidal wave breaks loose the ice on which they are working. Now they are hopelessly marooned on an iceberg during a violent winter storm. The bombs beneath them are buried irretrievable deep . . . and ticking. And they discover that one of them is an assassin with mission of his won. This is classic Koontz. "Jammed with the tensions of imminent disaster. The whole thing unfolds with the timing of a quartz watch." ?Chicago Tribune

Different, but still very good. I read the updated version. I'll always make room in my TBR old and new.
Not the kind of thing that you'd normally expect from Dean Koontz, but then this was originally published under a pen name. This is a thriller - a tribute to Alistair Maclean and it's done very nicely.This is a book that doesn't really stand still because of the nature of the story it has to move q...
