About this audiobook
When retired police detective Joe Heller is called in to investigate what might be Antarctica’s first murder, he quickly discovers that winter at McMurdo Station comes with a unique set of challenges: darkness, isolation, and the eccentric behavior of the research facility’s 157 inhabitants. But a difficult investigation turns much tougher when all communication with the outside world is suddenly cut off.
While Heller works diligently to reconstruct the scene of the crime, evidence mounts that a pathogenic event could be ravaging the rest of the planet. As night descends, fear mounts, and confusion reigns, the killer strikes again. If this is a global cataclysm, is someone now picking off the human race’s few remaining survivors? Is this the end of the world—or just the end of Joe Heller’s?

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Irritating pseudo-philosophical themes spoil the story. Over halfway into the tale I couldn't care what the means were as long as the wole wooden lot got killed. And I left them there as reprepresentives of humanity with my very best wishes to the culprit.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Like a few other reviewers, I wasn't sure about this when I first started it. It had a few strikes against it, like a shit-ton of internal dialogue, and virtually all the action happened off-stage.
But there was also something compelling about it, and it took me a while to figure it out. The first thing is, the author was careful to use dialogue, thoughts, expressions, and clues that all have more than one meaning. The other was the obvious nod to Joseph Heller's brilliant Catch-22 novel. Not in storyline or satire, but in situation after situation that the protagonist, Joe Heller, kept bumping up against.
I was also very concerned it was going to be another one of those "figure out your own ending" endings. It was not.
Enjoyed the hell out of this one.
