Wow, this is OLD.

I’m featured in the LOUD Online Gallery for 1998.

This is not a book I would normally read, however, because I’m taking a Summer School subject called “People’s Leisure Reading” for uni, I’m reading a whole heap of things I wouldn’t usually touch with a ten foot barge pole.

Ice Station is set mostly in Antarctica, sometime in the late 1990s. The books is about a group of American Scientists who find a “spaceship” buried under the ice. The Scientists have a theory that it’s an alien spaceship, or the remains of a civilisation from a zillion years ago. This information is seen as being something of national importance by the Government of the United States of America, who sends a reconnaissance unit down to the Antarctic Station to secure the site. What follows is one of the most ridiculous chain of events that I have ever read. The novel is written like a hollywood action film where the hero is shot, beaten, mutilated, killed and yet still comes back over and over again to save the day. The novel is
entertaining from the point of not having had to pay anything to read it (it’s from the library) and from the point of total disbelif that an Australian author could write such absolute nonsense. The book is totally unrealistic and unbelivable. But if you like the idea of monsters, aliens, killer whales and military action i’d recommend it.

A long time ago, I invented a cocktail. It’s still listed on someone’s website.

Here are the details:

Ingredients:-
1/4 Creme de Menthe
3/4 Fanta

Comments:- It turns it a horrible brown colour, but it actually tastes quite nice :)
