Task 7
Book themes for Saint Lucia's Day: Read a book set in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Sweden - and Finland for the purposes of this game) or a book where ice and snow are an important feature.
Nick Stone is getting recruited to help a group of amputees to go to North Pole.
Ice and snow is the elementary danger beside the guns and fire.
The plot starts with Nick Stone reluctantly drawn into a task that he didn't want in the first place.
A guy he knew wanted Stone's help to get his son safe when he and a group of amputees tried to go to a hike on the North Pole.
The son Jack was in the military and got his leg blown off shortly after he got into action.
Now that Jack and his fellow friends, other amputees would like to get to the North Pole but their sponsor pulled out.
Where to get the money is part of the problem.
Now they just landed on a place where there are some armed Russians want to get part of the action of oil underneath the ice.
The came the father drawing in Rune, a geek that suppose to put equipment on the ice to see if the ice is melting.
The twist is that everyone is lying. The friend Jack has that could get the money is lying. And they got shot at.
After being chased. They ended up stranded on ice. Cold and dying. Then they got escorted to a Russian submarine.
The bigger picture is the behind twist. Who get the oil? The Americans or the Russians?
Not as engaging as I hope. But I'm not that into extreme sports.
Still a 4 stars read.
