Fast Ice by Clive Cussler & a Graham Brown

"Fast Ice" by Clive Cussler & a Graham Brown - Return of ice age?
This book is published by Michael Joseph in 2021 and has 416 pages. This is Book 18 of NUMA files. 

A Nazi German expedition has found something in Antarctica. An oligarch wants to extract oil from below the snow of arctic circle. His sister is staunch supporter of environment. An ex Numa scientist sends SOS to Rudy Gunn. Her ship is attacked and everyone is killed. 

What did the Nazi expedition find? Why are the Oligarch brother and Environmentalist sister at loggerheads? Who killed the crew of ex-Numa scientist's ship? What is fast ice?

This time it's about the snowball theory. How the ice age comes and how the earth regenerates. It's about a bacteria found beneath the permafrost. There is a customary mad wealthy man and a scientist. 

There are Kurt and Joe. There's their enjoyable banter. There's action, this time on ice and snow. There's even an avalanche. There's a beautiful lady. There is world to save. 

The story is interesting. Action is good. This time we have a Ship made of ice, not steel. A tunnel in ice serving as pipeline. Alge that converts water to ice. Fast ice.

Why did I read this book? Author. Series. 
What I didn't like? Not very exciting climax. 
What did I like? Kurt-Joe banter

Recommend reading, if you are reading the series.
