This was Duncan Kyle's first book which got him onto the thriller scene. Reading 'A Cage of Ice' shows he came in with a bang. John Edwards, the main character, receives a mysterious package from the Soviet Union. Later the same day he is nearly killed by a car and his landlord is mugged for the keys to Edward's room. He is confused, not only because of the bizarre attacks but because the package is addressed to 'Professor Edward.' He is Dr. Edwards. The plot comes together quite nicely, and Dr. Edwards ends up on a mission through the Arctic. This thriller set the stage for Kyle's other books, and he went on to become the greatest thriller writer ever (in my eyes.)
