ICE HAMMER
Boxed Set: Invasion, Insurgent, and Invincible

by Basil Sands

Narrated by: Basil Sands

Production by: Permuted Press

Brings an Ice Hammer to the Fight!

Brad Stone, his three sons, and his wife are all enjoying their summer … Brad is an IT guy, two of his boys are Scouts at camp, the third is a cook, and his wife is at home. Then the invasion came – not one country but multiple countries seem to pull together to attack America. This series focuses specifically on Alaska.

Brad Stone aka Ice Hammer does what he needs to survive and save others. Retired from the military and a sit at your desk IT person, Stone takes on the challenge of leading his people and fighting the enemy. Aided by another lone survivor, Kharzai formerly a CIA operative and the ride begins!

Each book in this trilogy takes Stone, Kharzai, Youngmi, Sammi, Ian, and others one step closer to confronting the communist invaders in one form or another. Each member of Stone’s circle of friends and family must confront the enemy on their own terms.

Action-packed, this box set does not let up until the end. The end is a bit of a shocker but so well delivered and so appropriate! I have to say the author, Basil Sands, has one vivid and rich imagination – I definitely would NOT want to get on his bad side! The ending made me cringe, laugh, and then shudder. The books are epic in length, but you will not want to put them down until you reach the end. As the listener, you cannot help but become pulled in.

There are a lot of characters in these three books, but the Sands does an amazing job of keeping their stories straight and easy for the listener to follow. The characters and backstories are realistic and solidly built. Sands also plays the heartstrings making each step of the journey filled with doubt, fear, hope, and love.

The narrator, also the author, Basil Sands does a commendable job. I LOVE the voice of Kharzai! The rest are unique as well but the voice of Kharzai is absolutely PERFECT. The pronunciation, diction, cadence, and inflections are spot on and fit the personality of the character impeccably.

I enjoyed the writing style – you knew whose perspective you were getting from the title. This helped me see the book on a much larger scale.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this book. The quality of the sound was crisp and clear.
