Synopses & Reviews
This sequel to the original, Eisner-nominated series delivers on all counts. US Marshal Carrie Stetko is back! Still on detail in Antarctica, she longs for the day she can return to the mainland and experience life that doesn`t involve several million tons of ice. When a Russian base is massacred and nuclear weapons stolen, a way home suddenly opens up - if she can capture the thieves and return the weapons intact, she will be sent back to the mainland. As Carrie has learned, however, nothing on the Ice happens without the continent herself having her say, and the natural obstacles on the criminals` trail proves to be more dangerous than the criminals themselves. And there is also the little matter of the Russian agent who has been sent by his country to get back what is theirs. Contains mature situations and adult language.
Writer Greg Rucka is the author of the Atticus Kodiak series of novels. Four books - KEEPER, FINDER, SMOKER, and SHOOTING AT MIDNIGHT - have been published by Bantam Books, and he is currently hard at work on the fifth, CRITICAL SPACE, scheduled for release in early 2001. He is the regular writer on DETECTIVE COMICS for DC Comics, and he wrote the novelization of BATMAN: NO MAN`S LAND. Artist Steve Lieber is a Russ Manning award nominee who is best known for his work on comics titles as diverse as DC`s HAWKMAN, Dark Horse`s GRENDEL TALES, and Marvel`s CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Rucka and Lieber`s first teaming, WHITEOUT, earned them heaps of critical praise and became one of the best-selling comic book trade paperbacks of 1999. It also garnered them three Eisner nominations (`Best Writer,` `Best Artist,` and `Best Limited Series`), and the story was recently optioned for film by Wolfgang Petersen and Columbia Studios.
