The Ice Limit-Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

In Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's techno-thriller, The Ice Limit, a monumental discovery is made on a desolate island off the coast of Chile: the largest meteorite ever found. This four-thousand-ton celestial object has been entombed in the earth for millions of years, and its existence immediately captures the attention of New York billionaire Palmer Lloyd. Determined to acquire the meteorite for his new museum, Lloyd assembles a high-tech expedition of elite scientists and engineers. Their mission is a seemingly impossible one: to transport the colossal object across the treacherous, icy waters of the Southern Ocean back to New York.

The expedition, led by the brilliant but enigmatic engineer Eli Glinn, disguises their state-of-the-art vessel as a rusted freighter to secretly complete their mission. However, from the moment they first approach the meteorite, a series of unsettling and deadly events begins to unfold. The crew soon realizes that the rock is more than just a scientific curiosity; it possesses strange, unknown properties and a sinister nature. It becomes clear that the expedition is not just battling the elements and the Chilean authorities who want to prevent its removal, but also an intelligence emanating from the meteorite itself.

As the crew races against time and an increasingly hostile environment, they are forced to confront a terrifying truth about the meteorite's origin and purpose. The book evolves into a high-stakes adventure where scientific curiosity turns into a fight for survival. With treacherous storms, betrayals, and a chilling mystery at its core, The Ice Limit explores the boundaries of human ambition and the terrifying consequences of unearthing something that was meant to remain buried forever.
