Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, and Congo are his case studies as he looks at the depth of the tragedy, the logic of political order, and the foundations of the state. Bates concludes that the wave of democratization of the last two decades is unlikely to promote political stability since incumbents will react to this new threat to their hold on power with more corruption and violence.
Bates addresses the origins of state failure in Africa in the late decades of the twentieth century. Author: Jensen, J. Tags: Physioex V3. GO Physioex V3.

So I must have read. His presence was fleeting. Overall, good read. The narrator was really good but hardly modulated his voices for men and women making it hard to tell who I had a sense of deja vu while reading.

May 08, Laura rated it did not like it Shelves: terrible-books. Whoa, what a terrible book! It reads like he was expecting someone to make a movie of the week out of it. But with a really low budget. The monster isn't even partially described until near the tedious long drawn out end of this silly story. Cuz it doesn't. No where in the book. And what was up with the ice road trucker part of the story?
It wasn't even part of the story. Just tossed in there because even this ridiculous monster Whoa, what a terrible book! Just tossed in there because even this ridiculous monster couldn't be expected to eat THAT many people. Had to get the extra people off the military base, right? Oh for Pete's sake The woman are one dimensional, the men are idiots and the monster?
Well, I was hoping he was going to eat everyone. And the author. Jul 13, Michael Adamchuk rated it liked it Shelves: fiction , read , thriller , child-lincoln.

A quick read, pretty predictable, but enjoyable. Jan 18, Lorrie rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery , fiction , audio-book. This was my 2nd Jeremy Logan story, I think, maybe 3rd. Just the thought of being in a 20 degree below zero environment freaks me completely out--not to mention a thawed "thing". Jeremy didn't have a lot of time to think about his wife in this story!
View all 5 comments. Not a favorite of his, but a good enough read and action packed, especially near the end. It has an interesting premise and left the door open for a sequel. Mar 03, Brooke rated it liked it Shelves: , thriller. While there was nothing bad about it, it suffered from being a retread of Relic , Child's thriller debut with Douglas Preston. He even seems to recognize this when he refers to Frock and his Callisto Effect theory. Swap out Relic's natural history museum for a military base in Alaska, change some character names and throw in a documentary team from a television channel, and you've got Termin After impressing me with Deep Storm last year, Lincoln Child sort of missed the boat with Terminal Freeze.
Swap out Relic's natural history museum for a military base in Alaska, change some character names and throw in a documentary team from a television channel, and you've got Terminal Freeze.
Creativity isn't terribly high on my list of requirements for a good book, so this isn't the whole of my complaints. As long as a book is well-written and has interesting characters, I tend to overlook the fact that it doesn't bring anything new to the table. It is completely without any element of surprise. I heartily recommend not reading any synopsis, including the book jacket's inside flap, because it lays out the entire plot. There aren't any game-changers, no moments of "Ah ha, gotcha!
Apr 06, Traci Haley rated it really liked it Shelves: audiobooks , mystery-suspense , There's nothing better than a good adventure-horror-sci-fi novel Of course, you'll also have the brave hero who plots the escape route in this case, an ice road trucker who wears hawaiian shirts in subzero temps AND the other brave hero who figures out how to defeat the evil creature AND woo the SMART female character who manages to not get herself killed.
Yup, yup Lincoln Child's latest thriller, while not the next great Pulitzer winner, had all the necessary plot points to entertain for a fair amount of time. If you're a fan -- or if you have thus far avoided the adv-horror-sci-fi genre altogether -- I'd say give it a whirl. Mar 16, C. Their prose really resonates with me and I enjoy the experience of reading their words. This book was not my favorite of their works.
The exploration of the arctic and the assembly of the documentary crew, the scientists, the military and the Tunit shaman made for an interesting cast of characters.
I read this book more quickly than many other thrilers that I read and this is a huge gauge for me as to how much I enjoy a book. As much as I love Child's writing, something about this story left me wanting more. The technology and the history of the military base made interesting backstory, but in the end the work felt a little too predictable which is my only real criticism. As always Child delivered an interesting villian, which kept me turning pages to discover its origin and how it could possibly be defeated.
May 01, Annie rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery-thriller. Well, maybe not the best story from this author, but a fast and fun "take me away from politics" read nonetheless! Scientists studying global warming two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska's federal Wildlife Zone discover what they believe to be a prehistoric animal in a glacial cave under layers of ice.
What they discover is something much more otherworldly. With the help of a Tunit Shaman, remnants of a film documentary crew, military personnel and Doctor Jeremy Logan they mana Well, maybe not the best story from this author, but a fast and fun "take me away from politics" read nonetheless!

Intelligent, well-plotted, unique, and captivating. I do wonder to where the cat ran off, though. Sep 23, Georgann rated it really liked it Shelves: suspense , horror. Gets going slowly and slowly picks up speed. But the end! If you could've seen my face! And, a bonus, very little "language" for this genre, so that was a plus and one I appreciate. Dec 12, Carrie rated it liked it Shelves: thrillers. Really enjoyed the concept and the Arctic setting, but the characters fell a little flat for me to feel much for their struggles.
Still, it's a cool series, and I'll read on. Aug 02, Nikki rated it really liked it Shelves: , sci-fi , action-adventure , thriller-suspense. Sound like fun? Maybe not for you but for a small band of scientists this is a rare opportunity. Evan Marshall and his fellow researchers are there to study the effects of global warming on a glacier; however, everything changes when they make the discovery of a lifetime encased in the ice. Ready capitalize on the find, the media conglomerate sponsoring their research sends up a TV crew to make a documentary of the specimen despite dire warnings from the local Native Americans.
In fact, they are some of my all-time favourite books. Somehow Preston and Child manage to take the most ordinary settings—a museum, a small Kansas town, a cruise ship—and make them extraordinary. They do this by juxtaposing the bland locale against a smart combination of eccentric characters, supernatural elements and gripping suspense.
Let me just put this on the record right now-- Terminal Freeze. I listened to the audio version of this book and if you ever have the chance to hear it, DO IT. Seriously, this guy will blow you away. He weaves magic, mystery and science so seamlessly that the unbelievable suddenly becomes very believable.
Child obviously takes the time to research his facts and he does a wonderful job in weaving it into his fiction so that you, the reader, are able to understand and more importantly, believe that it is real. It almost reminds me of what Michael Crichton did with dino genetics in Jurassic Park. Terminal Freeze introduces us to a slew of personalities ranging from the main protagonist, Evan Marshall, and his team of scientists to the docudrama crew to the military personnel and a even few local tribesman.
Child has done that tricky thing where distinguishing the main folks from the side-characters is really easy. I guess my only complaint would be that some of the film crew are somewhat stereotyped with the overly dramatic actress to the eccentric director and money-hungry executive producer.
Generally speaking though, he strikes a good balance with the sheer volume of people in the book. There's also an inevitable flirtation between Marshall and field producer, Kari Eckberg. The relationship is left open-ended and doesn't consume the plot's direction in any way. The best thing about this book is that it is suspenseful and mysterious as a thriller should be!
I needed to know who lived and who died and exactly how it happened. Child painted a very vivid, very scary picture of the creature and if you're a creature feature fan, it put me in mind of John Carpenter's The Thing.
At first, I wasn't sure if the murders were due to the beast or if it was one of the crew themselves! It left me guessing and wanting for more through to the very end.
Genre success! Jan 29, Katia Arami rated it liked it. Shelves: preston-child , , dark-tales. Well I do admit after reading a few books with serial killers I was in the mood for soemthing different.
And Lincoln Child did offer that with this book, at fist I was expecting something like the X-files episode soemwhere in the Artic North were an expedition find ancient parasites that become a problem and all is very dark, gloomy and isolated up in the cold winter. Alas no such luck, CHilds book remains a bit lighter and far more dramatic in an operatic style. An scientific expedition studying Well I do admit after reading a few books with serial killers I was in the mood for soemthing different.
An scientific expedition studying the effects of global warming find something in the ice simmilar to the mammoth found in Russia. Only it is more sibertoothish or so they think. A creature that has been frozen in the ice for millenia not seen before Or so one would think at first.
The band of scientist get quickly swamped by the mediafolks who paid for the expedition and they decide to make the find a large media spectacle. The find seems to disagree and start his own campaign It is a fun well written semi-horror story that never seems to get scary but is a decent read nonetheless.
I probably will not read the book again but it is very enjoyable on a beach, or even if you are stuck for months in a lonely polar basis for research purposes. This book is just not in the same league but well worth your time. Nov 28, Jessie Seymour rated it liked it Shelves: Not great, not terrible. I've read a little out of order with this series, so I now only have one more book to read.
I'll probably read it just to put the series to bed, but it's not like I'm really loving this series. I think the big thing was listening on audio instead of actually reading a book. Your Comment:.
