I also need to apologize to my readers for a lack of reviews for several months. This was brought on because of health problems and moving back in August. With the New Year, I made a resolution to write a review of every book I read. For the newer books (books that aren't old enough to fall in the Public Domain), I will post the reviews here in this blog. I will post reviews in my blog Tim's Public Domain Reads.
Polar Melt is the latest novel by thriller and science-fiction author Martin Roy Hill. It is a near-future science-fiction thriller. It starts out with a deep submergence vehicle (DSV) or mini sub that returns to the Research Vessel Franklin which is in arctic waters of the Alaskan coast and just outside of the line denoting Russian waters. Shortly after that, all communications from the Franklin cease and an elite team from the U.S. Coast Guard is sent to the Franklin to investigate. Upon arrival and subsequent investigations, it is discovered that there is nobody on board of the Franklin's crew and there is no power. There is a Russian oil platform nearby in Russian waters tat claim they didn't see or hear anything. Who or what is behind these disappearances and the loss of power?
I have reviewed a few other of Martin's works between this and my other blog (before it became just for older books) and each and every one of them I have thoroughly enjoyed. This one is no exception. The author put his experience from when he was in the U.S. Coast Guard and other branches of the military to use in writing this novel to make it feel like it is something happening now.
