    About this ebook



    When archaeologist Annja Creed reluctantly agrees to help an old colleague on a dig in Antarctica, she wonders what he's gotten her into. It turns out that her former associate has found a necklace made of an unknown metal depicting three snakes. He claims it's over forty thousand years oldand that it may not have earthly origins.

    As the pair conduct their research, Annja soon realizes she has more to worry about than being caught in snowslides. Because everyone is hiding somethingfrom her friend, to the U.S. military personnel guarding the site. With no one to trust and someone out to kill her, Annja has nowhere to turn. And everything to lose.

      I enjoyed the book, though I doubt the author has actually been to Antarctica. Neither have I, but I've spent some time in the Arctic, and found his descriptions, ah, amusing. I've also talked to folks that did research in Antarctica and read a fair amount about it and the description of the camp seemed to be a bit off. Oh well, most folks won't know the difference, and Antarctic details aside, it's an excellent read, especially if you're following all the books.
