Don't know if it's because they wrote this primarily at the insistent behests of their fans who demanded a sequel to Ice Limit, but this was truly a lame effort. Beyond the Ice Limit is like a book version of a C- level horror film. Just really bad. Too much repetitive emphasis on the utterly stupid concept of the humans trying to escape the fate of these electronic worms who were doing the bidding of the apparently animated and malevolent meteorite (That, by itself, was a pretty stupid concept). It would have been so much more interesting if they'd tied the work of the meteorite hunter character to the nature and presence of the big meteorite siting at the bottom of the ocean, but no... He ended up being a more tangential character who could have played a much bigger role in the plot development, but didn't. Cabinet of Curiosities is my favorite of all the P&C books. Beyond the Ice Limit paled so badly in comparison that it may as well have been written by a first time writer with a high school level of writing and research skills. Lame from start to finish. This book was just pitiful. I had to force myself to finish reading it. P&C should be ashamed of this book. Their worst "effort" by far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Preston and Child do sci-fi and horror, *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017* This review is from: Beyond the Ice Limit: A Gideon Crew Novel (Gideon Crew Series Book 4) (Kindle Edition)BEYOND THE ICE LIMIT: A GIDEON CREW NOVEL is the unusual sequel to THE ICE LIMIT. Unusual in that instead of following closely on the heels of its predecessor, this one took Preston and Child 16 years to publish. Also unusual in that it is subtitled a Gideon Crew Novel even though Gideon Crew did not exist when the first novel appeared. I have avoided the Gideon Crew novels up to now due to mixed reviews, but having just read and greatly enjoyed THE ICE LIMIT, thought I'd give this one a try. I'm still not sure about Gideon Crew who plays a fairly large role here, but is not well described or fleshed out. The same is not true for the crew of THE ICE LIMIT, all of whom (that is all of whom survived) are back and play major roles in this sequel. Finally, BEYOND THE ICE LIMIT is an unusual sequel in its being completely self-contained: it works as well as a stand alone novel as it does as a sequel to THE ICE LIMIT.Eli Glinn and EES charter another ship to return to the far South Atlantic because the meteorite that is not a meteorite that they retrieved from Isla Desolacion is growing, and poses a clear and present danger. So Glinn and crew return to destroy the thing before it gets any larger. The sci-fi angle is clearer in this sequel as it becomes clear that the red meteorite is somehow alive. And the tension ratchets up a few notches as the sci--fi veers off into horror territory about three quarters of the way through, and once again it looks like the infallible Eli Glinn has badly underestimated the difficulty of this project and many deaths result.Typical tight Preston and Child prose and pacing and and interesting idea are somewhat diminished by an ending that feels both rushed and if not deus ex machina, at the least not playing fair with the audience. Despite this, it was an enjoyable read, and if you have read aTHE ICE LIMIT, I'm pretty sure you are going to want to read this.Recommended.JM Tepper ### ⭐⭐ Over the Limit *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017* Normally I give any book written by Preston and\or Child a five star rating, but this one was tough to get through. I read "The Ice Limit" years ago and loved it, but the sequel was not up to par with the original. I don't think I would ever hire Eli Glinn to plan and execute any engineering project. That man has the most incredible case of "Murphy's Law" I have ever seen. Anything and everything goes wrong on this expedition! The story goes on and on and on and I was beginning to think it would just end abruptly and a third Ice Limit novel would be forthcoming to wrap things up. Next time leave well enough alone. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/37151088-beyond-the-ice-limit-a-gideon-crew-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/37151088-beyond-the-ice-limit-a-gideon-crew-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
