Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson
3.0
With editing, this could have been a great book. The story involving the main characters was very good. After Val led her group to safety I said “WOW” out loud. The best parts of the book echoed reading about Shackleton and other Antarctic expeditions. It also reminded me of James Rollins novels. Unfortunately, the story was 1/2 of the book at most.
There were hundreds of pages about politics, the role of science in society, environmental issues that were a slog. The latter part of the book mostly dropped the characters and suffocated into a philosophical debate about how Antarctica should be governed.
