I have always enjoyed Lincoln Child novels and this is the first Jeremy Logan series book that I have read. Despite that the series is called the Jeremy Logan series, this character really isn't brought into the story much at least till the middle which is a bit odd to me. However, Child's storytelling made up for the lack of the series's protagonist. 
 Terminal Freeze follows a group of scientists in Northern Alaska as they do research on global warming but things change quickly when the group discovers an odd creature in perfect preservation in a cave of Mt. Fear (this is fictional, there is no Mount Fear). Due to their sponsorship by a large nature television channel they call in the discover and all hell breaks from there as a documentary turns into horror as a terrible secret begins to resurface and threaten everyone.
