21. Reading "The Ice Limit" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
Wed Aug 31, 2016, 10:27 AM
Aug 2016

On a desolate island off the coast of southern Chile, the largest known meteorite has been found, entombed in the earth for millions of years. In New York, a billionaire decides he must have this incredible find for himself, no matter what the cost. At four thousand tons, it will be the heaviest thing ever moved by human ingenuity. The effort to retrieve it will be the most expensive, secretive, and sophisticated salvage mission ever mounted. But from the beginning, people begin to die. (From fictiondb.com) So far, a good page-turner.
