I just finished "Choosers of the Slain" by James H Cobb (one of our Anarctica books) and it was very good. It reminded me of early Tom Clancy novels like "Hunt for Red October" and "Red Storm Rising."
"Choosers" is not a long book and once I got started I couldn't put it down. The characters are believable, well-rounded, human. The action is well described, although the author uses a lot of jargon, there is a dictionary of the terms in the back of the book. Although the author never served in the Navy, he does a good job describing battle and tactics (this from a person who was in the Navy). A little bit of romance, but mainly an action novel.
If you are looking for a good Antarctic read, this book fits the bill. Rick
