Riddle of the Ice
Riddle of the Ice – Review
Myron Arms’ "Riddle of the Ice" includes a group of the most modern theories commonly used to seek to explain the creation, movement, and delivery of ice in the Arctic, and not much else. For those currently looking for an adventure story, look elsewhere. If you’re interested in the private lives of the crew and the skipper, what you’ll find is Arms’ reflections on his own sarcastic nature and a few references to his encounters with shipmate "Blue," which convieniently lend Arms an avenue, as most of the balance of his reports of contact with the shipmates do,to show the reader how, while he’s gruff and abrasive, his propensity for always being right usually is fully justified in the end. As for the science behind "Riddle of the Ice," Arms went it up to the true scientists, providing the reader with a good book report at best.
