ICE
The ICE Trilogy,Book 1

by Kevin Tinto

Out of this World Mystery!

Leah Andrews is a renowned Archaeologist who is on a mission to discover the mystery of a tribe of Native American Indians that lived in a cliff dwelling in the southwestern area of New Mexico which just happens to be on government property.  What she discovers there requires her to reach out to her estranged husband, Jack Hobson.  His connections and expertise of the Antarctic territory are exactly what Leah needs to solve the mystery.  Hobson brings in experts and finds a financer which adds another twist to their mission – recovering an antique plane on Russian claimed territory!  Each word keeps the listener on the edge of their seat!

Kevin Tinto, the author, builds the story slowly but powerfully starting with the deadly climb up and down Mount Everest ending with the team making a discovery that is out of this world!  Each step of this book is well written and realistic especially the “governmental red tape” and politics that occur in the storyline.  Tinto is methodical as he moves Leah and her team through every step of their exploration and discovery.

Tinto takes time to build each character and ties them to the storyline perfectly.  One cannot help but root for Leah and Jack. Ice is vividly written, with strong characters, and the listener cannot help but be disappointed when they hear the “we hope you have enjoyed this audible production”.  I look forward to the next book in this trilogy! 

Pamela Almand, the narrator, provides an excellent performance.  Almand moves the story along with the right amount of emotion and enthusiasm.  Her cadence is smooth and easy to listen to.  I found Almand gave each character the right tone which reflected the personality of each character.  Almand immersed not only herself into the story but she brought the listener in as well.  This is the first time I heard Pamela Almand perform and I loved it! 

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.
