The ice limit

Preston, Douglas J. (Author). Child, Lincoln. (Added Author).

Summary: In the desolate reaches of southernmost Chile, a remarkable discovery has been made. It is a massive meteorite whose very existence will change science--and perhaps even mankind. In great secrecy, an expedition sets out on a converted tanker. But as soon as the recovery process begins, the mysteries begin to mount. What appeared to be simply an engineering challenge quickly becomes a perilous undertaking, for the bizarre, implacable artifact may not be what it seems. And when a raging storm drives the tanker beyond the dangerous Antarctic latitude, superstition, egos, and the unknown clash to create a stunning finale that will risk the lives of everyone on board.
