A U.S. diving team disappears three thousand feet under Antarctica's ice shelf near Wilkes Station. Their distress call brings a Marine rapid deployment unit to the frozen continent, but the Marines aren't the only ones responding to the emergency. A brutal firefight erupts at the station. The survivors plunge into freezing waters filled with killer whales. Then the real battle begins. The handful of Marines who make it out alive must cross Antarctica's deadly terrain while elite military assassins hunt them down. Every assassin wants the same thing: a classified secret buried deep in the ice. The Marines don't know what lies hidden beneath Wilkes Station, but they know men will kill for it. In a second adventure, four special forces teams land on an unmapped island where secret experiments have gone wrong. The island appears on no official charts. Contact with the research facility has been lost. The soldiers expect to find answers. Instead they find something that transforms their rescue mission into a fight for survival.
