This is a really good read with some twists and turns. I had a hard time putting it down. A guy is discovered in "hard ice" and a crew of scientists want to see if they can reanimate him out of the ice as they have done with shrimp and krill. But the lower life forms have a life expectancy of a few minutes so making this frozen ice guy live for longer than a month is a question no one can answer till the end of the book and the ending is a little ambiguous. A reasonable cure is found to keep him alive but he rides off into the sunset on a boat with his newly screwed scientist crying on shore.
Now for one thing the author gets into what this guy is eating way too late for me. Also they NEVER find one living relative. Now his wife had a family and so did he I would think unless all parents, brothers, uncles, aunts, grandparents of both wife/husband are all dead. Sort of unrealistic in that respect. So I was unhappy with that aspect of the story.
The fact this mega intelligent scientist Philo (weird name) screws him is another matter because he's from the early 1900s and has a different outlook on easy carefree sex so I don't think in my wildest dreams he would be fucking her. And WTF is she doing by screwing the experiment? Sure he's human etc so lets find some RELATIVES for heaven's sake and go screw someone else that's not 100 yrs old and newly reanimated, k? Desperate much?
Otherwise I thought it was fascinating and unique for a book idea and it was well written with characters you felt you knew. I recommend the book, and even go buy it.
