About this listen
In 1946 the United States Navy conducted Operation Highjump, an expedition to evaluate the effect of extreme Antarctic cold on US equipment. However, their true purpose remains shrouded in mystery. Were the reports of Nazi activity on the Southern Continent accurate?
After engaging unknown forces in aerial combat, weather forced the Navy to abandon operations. Undeterred, the US returned every Antarctic summer until escalating tensions in Southeast Asia forced the government to secretly detonate three nuclear warheads over the continent in 1958. With the threat eliminated, the files were sealed and forgotten by all but the men who fought there.
Now the enemy has returned with a genetically superior army, indoctrinated from birth to hate Americans for their savagery, and they're intent on exacting revenge for the loss of their homeland and banishment to the icy wastes.

Narration is by Roberto Scarlato, who provides an excellently fluid and we'll intimated reading with each protagonist individually vkiced. A good performance, though slightly too slow for this reader: dialling up the playback speed to 1.25 quickly resolved that problem.
This is a bizarre book and could well be the opening volume of a new series. I have to thank the rights holder of Grudge, who, at my request via Audiobook Boom, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. It started well despite the numerous leaps in place and time, drawing me in with it's secret conspiracy ideas, but lost me as everything seemed to come apart - more dream than S.F. I doubt that I will bother to read on should a next book become avaiable. Recommend it? Not really, but there are sure to be plenty out there to whom this sardonic annihilation would appeal.
This is a sh***y mess any way you want to cut it.
