This book is a huge letdown compared to the prior ones in the series. It also has both plot holes galore, and a series of lucky "coincidences" necessary for the plot to work out that are so absurdly remote that they basically look like plot holes as well.
A.G. Riddle’s Antarctica Station requires more suspension of disbelief than I can manage. Laura, the heroine, is a surgeon at a hospital with no control of drug inventory in the OR.

It wasn't bad and it wasn't very good either but I could read it without a lot of pain, it makes for an easy reading which is something.

This book is like a 3.5.
My first book by A.G. Riddle, it's pretty good. Full of big ideas, good plot twists, solid interpersonal scenes, characters with discernable texture. But the infodumps - they're without parallel. At one point, two characters literally
I'll probably give book 2 a chance, though I'm probably not going to go back and try out earlier books by the author.… (more)
