Synopsis

A covert ops team investigates a Soviet strategic bomber—and walks straight into a political firestorm—in this thriller of shifting loyalties, mysterious enemies, and deadly secrets in the Arctic.On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, researchers discover the wreckage of a mysterious World War II-era aircraft, a discovery that forces the Russian Federation into a shocking admission. The unmarked plane is a Soviet strategic bomber that disappeared with its crew more than fifty years ago while carrying two metric tons of weaponized anthrax.Desperate to prevent a political and diplomatic firestorm, the U.S. president dispatches a Covert-One team led by Lieutenant Colonel Jon Smith to the crash site.  But others have reached the frigid, windswept island first, including an international arms dealer and his crew of vicious mercenaries.  As for the Russians, they are lying: a second, even deadlier secret rests within the hulk of the lost bomber, a secret the Russians are willing to kill to protect. Trapped in a polar wilderness, Smith and his team find themselves fighting a savage war on two front—against an enemy they can see and another hiding within their own ranks.

Goodreads review by Tracey Allen on March 13, 2011

This book is part of a series created by Robert Ludlum but written by James Cobb. Confusing isn't it?

Goodreads review by Greg on November 23, 2021

The book was okay. Its served it's purpose as something to read and pass time with. As a retired Army NCO, it is frustrating to read stuff that is so wrong as far as conversation between characters. While I am sure the author meant well in his attempt to use jargon, just do a little research as to h......more

A Cold saga called "Arctic Event" Aah, people have often recommended Robert Ludlum to me as the best thriller author. But as the fate would have it, I've never before now had a chance to get my hands on him, thats before Arctic Event that is. Well one could very well argue that Arctic Event is not a......more

Goodreads review by IAN on April 21, 2020

Part of a series created by Robert Ludlum but written by James Cobb. Which rather wrong foots the reader from the start. I'm not sure that books in a series should be written by other authors after the original authors' death, But that's just me no doubt. As far as the book itself is concerned It was......more

Goodreads review by Trever on April 21, 2019

This was a book. It was very much a book. I never got bored, there is constant action and suspense, I'm an easy mark for just about any thriller set in the Arctic, and five minutes after I was done with it I couldn't remember a darned thing about it. Overall, it's the book equivalent of a Stallone o......more
