        <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;"Buried deep in the earth's polar ice cap - carved into a moving island 
of ice twice the size of the United States - is a secret place, the site
 of a remarkable abandoned experiment that could have frightening 
ramifications for the planet. The brain trust of the former Soviet Union
 who created the seventy-year-old Ice Station Grendel would like it 
simply to melt from human memory. But that becomes impossible when an 
American undersea research vessel, the Polar Sentinel, inadvertently 
pulls too close to the hollowed-out iceberg... and one of the crew sees 
something alive inside. Something that never should have survived." "It 
is a discovery that sends shock waves through the intelligence 
communities of two powerful nations, as American and Russian scientists,
 soldiers, and unsuspecting civilians are pulled into Grendel's lethal 
vortex of secrets, violence, and betrayal. To preserve the silence - to 
prevent others from uncovering the terrible mysteries locked behind 
submerged walls of ice and steel - no measures will be too extreme. For 
within the station, experiments have blurred the line between life and 
death. It was a place never meant to be found." One man already knows 
too much: Matthew Pike, a former American Special Forces operative, 
living in seclusion in Alaska on the edge of the Arctic Circle. On the 
run after rescuing the survivor of a plane crash no one was meant to 
observe, Pike is relentlessly drawn into the eye of the gathering storm -
 even as a Russian nuclear attack submarine draws silently nearer to the
 men and women on the Polar Sentinel. The covert battle over Grendel is 
spinning out of control, and the future of all human life on Earth will 
be altered - or destroyed - once its nightmarish truths are revealed.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
