He?ll face down a deadly blizzard, chopper out of near disaster, and come face-to-face with a stone-cold, stone-age killer. Along the way he?ll discover that the Iceman is re-writing our ideas about life for our ancestors at the dawn of civilization?and about the very character of the Iceman himself.
