Ice Rift / Ice Rift - Salvage
(2018)(A book in the Ice Rift series)
An omnibus of novels by Ben Hammott
Humans have always looked to the stars for signs of Extraterrestrials.
They have been looking in the wrong place.
They are already here, entombed in a spaceship beneath Antarctic ice for thousands of years.
The ice is melting and they will soon be free.
A huge rift in the ice is discovered in Antarctica that stretches for 18 miles, (29 km) and 820 feet (250 meters) apart at its widest point.
When environmental scientists enter the ice rift to check out an anomaly on NASA's satellite scans of the area, they discover something far more life threatening than the raging blizzard trapping them in the rift. They are unarmed and unprepared for their ensuing fight for survival.
Though Ice Rift - Salvage, is a continuation of the story from Ice Rift, it was brought about by readers feedback saying they would like to read a follow on book. Ice Rift can be read as a complete story. There is no cliffhanger or abrupt ending.
Ice Rift plot themes:
First feedback:
"An exciting adrenaline rush that rarely lets you stop for a breather."
"The story quickly draws you in and refuses to let go until the last page. An excellent adventure set in Antarctica. 10/10."
ICE RIFT - SALVAGE
The spaceship entombed in the huge iceberg calved from the Pine Island Glacier drifts towards the warmer air and ocean temperatures of the South Atlantic. The race is on to claim the alien technology before the ice melts and releases its hold on the trapped alien vessel.
The mission: Board the spaceship and salvage as much alien technology as possible before the doomed vessel sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
The obstacles: A disintegrating iceberg, a collapsing spaceship, an armed Russian salvage force intent on claiming alien technology for themselves, an approaching storm, and the biggest obstacle of all - the spacecraft's alien inhabitants.
The aliens have another mission - survival - and when opposing species clash, there can be only one victor.
Small sample of the rave reviews for Ice Rift
"As intense as a gun to the head"
"Brilliantly written well thought out characters some you love others you love to hate. Oh what a movie this could be! A thrilling ride thru ice and aliens that I need to see come to life, on the screen mind you, far too terrifying to witness in the flesh."
"If you like James Rollins and Matthew Reilly You will Love This Book. Don't usually like science fiction but this book was very well written, the action was fast and yet the story was very believable and probable!! I enjoyed this so much I read it twice!! Most enjoyable read in a long time. If you like alien books this one is a must!! I look forward to any and all series that will follow this one!!!"
"Great book with lots of suspense. Read Solomon's Treasure, El Dorado & now Ice Rift. Like the others this book has it all, good guys, bad guys, adventure, mystery, UFO's, aliens, monsters. It's a mixture of Raiders of the Lost Ark & Alien all put together. What else can you ask for? It's a good read that's hard to put down."
"So Cool! One heck of an adventure. I enjoy a lot of scifi and horror mixed together. Books like Island 731, Fragment, Micro, and Jeff Longs The Descent. These books are fictional scifi monster books. Both fun and scary! This book fits right in. A scary thrill ride that propels you forward into the darkness, your lights dimming slowly towards blackness and there are strange noises ahead and then something let's out a piecing growl and your batteries die."
