Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hailed as "More Explosive than Die Hard and faster than Speed," Ice Station makes a considerable case for its inclusion in the action movie hall-of-fame. Surprising, considering it's a novel.Written by Matthew Reilly in 1998, Ice Station is the riveting story of Lieutenant Shane Schofield, aka Scarecrow, and his crack team of US Marines, whose mission is to secure an important discovery at an Antarctic research station.Meanwhile, Action Hero Schofield takes the opportunity to kill French commandos, Orca whales, British commandos, guys with crossbows, traitorous American commandos, and even a submarine. | |

Anyone Can Die: Scarecrow starts with 16 Marines. By the end of the book, he has four left. One of them loses her lower leg, and another leaves the service between books due to the massive trauma suffered. | |

| Ice Station / int_dd6ce3eb | comment |
Artistic Licence: It's speculated the French were able to reach Wilkes Station so quickly because their special forces were already at the nearby French research station on a training exercise. Military exercises are prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty. Military personnel and equipment are allowed in Antarctica, but only for scientific purposes. This might be intentional, as one of the book's subplots is how countries publicly support international treaties, while casually violating them behind the scenes. | |
