About this listen
A high-octane, fast-paced, action-packed Jack Coulson thriller with edge-of-your-seat suspense and an ending that will blow you away.
For over 70 years Hitler’s most fearsome weapon, Die Glocke (The Bell) has been entombed inside an icy fortress in the most inhospitable and unforgiving place on earth - the Antarctic.
When oceanographer Leah Anderson discovers a hidden WWII Nazi submarine base buried deep under the Antarctic ice shelf, she sparks a fierce battle to acquire "The Bell".
While Russian and American submarines clash deep below the ice pack, on the surface, a sinister force launches a ruthless assault to secure the infamous weapon they have been searching for since its mysterious disappearance in 1945. If they succeed, they will use it to change the course of history forever and ensure a Nazi victory at the end of the second World War.
Enigmatic covert ops soldier Jack Coulson has already been to hell and back for his country, but if he is to stop the resurgence of the Thousand Year Reich, he must enter the gates of hell one more time.
What Jack and his team don’t know is that the Allies already used "The Bell" to change the course of the war and history as we know it - a secret that must remain, like "The Bell" itself, buried at any cost.
For fans of James Rollins, Matthew Reilly, Michael C. Grumley, A.G. Riddle, Rob Jones, Jay J. Falconer, James D. Prescott, Brad Thor, Douglas E. Richards, Clive Cussler, and David Baldacci.

Sent in the singularly unpleasant environments (mostly) of the ice cold Antarctic sea, a submarine or beneath ice, the story cannot help but be chilling (sorry!); throw in past and present Nazi ambition, a carefully protected super weapon, a world wide super power, nuclear misiles, advice on how best to hurt people in close combat, friendship, fear and betrayal, and lots more, it becomes a fast and furious (sometimes for the protagonists, literally) action packed battle for survival, both personally and for the future of the world. Great fun and, read by Gary Tiedemann, a pleasure to hear. This narrator gave a fine performance, each character given their own differentiated voice and the text read with understanding and just enough emotion.
Certainly not fine literature, but not bad, a good plot, unusual and quick to read. One major problem with this audio version, however, is that, especially in the latter part, many of the chapters are very short and, given that the telling of the story moves through different places across the earth and jumps between the years 1945 and 2017, the introductory information of where and when this part is to take place, can be longer than the chapter itself ( as in Audible section 61, it takes up 21 of the 48 seconds, and in 63, it consumes 19 out of 24 secs.). This probably would not matter in a print or ebook, but in an audiobook, even one as well performed as this is, it distracts from the suspense of the story. A small matter, however.
I was fortunate in being freely gifted a complimentary copy of Ice Fortress, by the rights holder, at my request via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys action thrillers and doesn't mind suspending disbelief. It was certainly intriguing, and I look forward to the next book in the series, Black Ice.
