      While alone, Schofield is shot and killed. He later wakes up, found to have been accidentally resurrected by his attacker,

      I hate when that happens.

          There are basically no “fantasy” elements, the book keeps you on edge with every page, its the most tense book i have ever read, i fr could NOT LAY IT DOWN until it was thru. Stuff why u should read the book:

          • Liquid nitrogen hand granades
          • magnetic pneumatic shootable grappeling hook
          • French special forces beeing assholes
          • more Deus ex machina moments than i ever saw before in a singular book

      Yeah - while Temple was my first exposure, but Ice Station is the best place to start, and up there with his best work. Later stuff goes from silly fun to just… lost.

    The ancient wonders series or whatever they’re called is wild too. It’s like some kind of unified conspiracy theory adventure.
