The Ice Limit by Preston & Child - 512 pages

In this action packed thriller, the largest known meteorite on Earth has been discovered buried for millions of years on an island of the southern tip of Chile. New York billionaire Palmer Lloyd wants this 4 thousand ton meteor for his new museum.  He hires the finest scientists and engineers to set out on an expedition to retrieve and bring this meteor to New York.  They will risk everything to retrieve this find, but all is not what it seems.  Are they in control or is the meteor?  Is it really a meteor?   Is there more to come? Everyone is not so eager to have the meteor removed from Chile. 

This book was written several years ago, but if you like non-stop action, suspense, this is a great read.  I am a fan of Preston & Child.  Now looking forward to reading Beyond the Ice Limit.
