Hello Twink and all, The Ice Limit, named after the threshold between where icebergs can be found in the ocean as one heads south, is an interesting, but heavily fictional story of the attempted recovery of a very heavy object. That much I found enjoyable as the engineering aspects are fun to read about.
Unfortunately, the “meteorite” wildly defies all known science, and in the end turns out to be… well if you make it through that much of the book I won’t ruin the ending. But I will say that the timeless words of Charlie Brown came to mind. “GOOD GRIEF!” Cheers, Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: larrytwinkmonrad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, September 27, 2003 9:23 pm Subject: [meteorite-list] Fiction thriller book re. meteorite > I just discovered a book copyright 2000 titled The Ice Limit by > Preston and > Child.
