'A thoroughly professional cliff-hanger' Sunday Telegraph
Product Description
A classic thriller from the bestselling master of action and suspense.
The atomic submarine Dolphin has impossible orders: to sail beneath the ice-floes of the Arctic Ocean to locate and rescue the men of weather-station Zebra, gutted by fire and drifting with the ice-pack somewhere north of the Arctic Circle.
But the orders do not say what the Dolphin will find if she succeeds – that the fire at Ice Station Zebra was sabotage, and that one of the survivors is a killer…

I walked into a book shop in Manly Australia in 1999 while on holiday, the sales assistant after watching me struggle to find something to read came over to me with Ice Station in his hand. He told me that if I buy this book and I don't like it, he will give me my money back! Hence to say I never got my money back. The book was fantastic from start to Finnish. I have since lent it to my friends and they have all loved it just as much. If you like your books fast and furious, Go and buy this book.

Format:Paperback
This book is about the cold war, suspense, knives in the dark (ok not literally), a race against time, submarines and a showdown on the north pole! Oh and it's good at what it does, very good.
Maclean creates here the perfect suspense thriller. Form the very outset we are launched into the action as the nuclear submarine Dolphin prepares to depart on a mission of mercy to a north pole science station destroyed by a fire, but all is not as it seems.
Straight away things are suspicious, you will find yourself unable to stop turning the pages as you follow the charaters in their attempt to uncover the truth. Twist after twist and revelation after revelation will keep you guessing right up to the end. This is utterly believeable drama you won't be disapointed. I actually find that I believe I am a member of the Dolphin's crew on the mission with them! And its a hellova ride, well worth the investment.

This is easily one of the best spy / adventure / crime books of all time. Though I have read it many times over the years and know every detail, I still take it down of the shelf now and then just to immerse myself in a truely first rate novel. Mr. Maclean builds a great story (and I defy anyone to guess who the killer is before he reveals the answer).

Ice Station Zebra
A very good plot though the whole story was ruined by a severe overdose of 'padding'.
Far too many words selected from a thesaurus make the reading difficult and unfriendly. Read more
