About this listen
They call it simply "the object."
It sits at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, waiting.
Waiting...for what?
An American research ship disappears in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea only to reappear a few days later. When a special US Coast Guard unit boards the vessel, they find it deserted, its power grid wrecked, two bombs waiting to explode, and an even darker secret hidden below her decks.
A few miles across the international maritime boundary, a massive Russian oil platform harbors its own secret. Below the behemoth lies a mysterious energy source so powerful it threatens to topple the balance of world power in favor of Moscow.
The Russians will to kill to protect it. The Americans will kill to stop its recovery.
And still...the object waits.
"Martin Roy Hill's Polar Melt is the fast lane to the headlines of the future. Fasten your seat belts and hang on! You're in for on a wild ride." (G. M. Ford, author of the Leo Waterman series)

Based around an actual sequence of events including the disappearance of four ships of different nationalities in the early months of 1968, this engaging written novel combines a touch of science fiction and the paranormal with solid characterisation, an exciting story and a frightening feeling of reality as both navy SEALs and the unexpectedly militarily able Coast Guard investigate and are drawn into conflict. The story is read by Tim Danko, who not only gives distinctive voice to each of the protagonists, but also reads with well paced clarity, infusing the narration with just enough emotion to increase tensions without overloading the listener. A nice performance.
My thanks to the rights holder of Polar Melt: A Novel, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was an enjoyable read, made all the more fascinating by the brief author's note which followed listing a few of the various exceptional circumstances which have occurred in real life, and mentioned in the book, showing that not only do mysterious events happen at sea but that real life can be stranger than fiction.
Recommended to anyone enjoying strange happenings at sea combined with a little .military action.
