Code Name Habbakuk is a great story that should be shared widely
because, despite the sadness and disappointment, it speaks to the
human capacity to think big, aspire for the impossible, and to push
back the boundaries of knowledge. --Dick Bourgeois-Doyle, author of
George J. Klein: The Great Inventor-- (04/19/2012)
"If you are curious to learn more about Project Habbakuk, I
strongly recommend L.D. Cross's work: Code Name Habbakuk: A Secret
Ship Made of Ice. The book is brief but well-written and filled
with period photographs, including of the work on the ice-ship
prototype at Patricia Lake."-- (02/01/2017)
"Author L.D. Cross, an Ottawa-based writer, has nicely captured the
mood of the time and of the many characters that bring this
implausible story to life. It's an engaging read and one that lends
credence to the old maxim that truth is stranger than fiction."
--Susan R. Eaton, Diver Magazine>
