I first decided to read “Arctic Fire” by Stephen Frey because I was looking for a good action/adventure read. I found the book’s cover to be appealing and the plot summary sounded interesting, so I decided to read it.In “Arctic Fire” we meet Troy Jensen: daredevil extraordinaire; a man who never ...
Maybe less. First of all, it is a mile long but only an inch deep - all action, such as a James Bond movie, and very little substance. Secondly, action books tend not to be too descriptive, but this one had so little description I began to wonder if he has actually been to these places, especia...

My fourth Frey book and I have scored each one 5*. The plot is superbly structured and gathers momentum towards the final thrilling finale.
