About this audiobook

100,000 years ago the object hit the lake at the deepest point, quickly sinking into its mile-deep stygian darkness. The sheets of ice closed, time moved on and the land forgot. But over the centuries, legends grew of people vanishing, of strange, deformed animals and of an unexplained luminescence down in the lake depths. When Marcus Stenson won the lucrative contract to create a sturgeon fish farm on the site of disused paper mill on the shore of Lake Baikal, he thought he had won the lottery and refused to listen to the chilling folktales, or even be concerned by the occasional harassment from the local mafia. But then animals were found mutilated in the frozen forest and people started to go missing. And worse, some came back, changed, horribly. In the depths of the lake, something that had been waiting 100,000 years was stirring. And it needed the warmth of mankind to survive. For lovers of John Carpenter’s The Thing, comes a tale of Alien Horror from international best selling author, Greig Beck.

Ratings and reviews

-minor spoilers ahead- I loved this book as a one off, you should do these more often. The hero didn't seem too invincible with me fresh off the arcadian novels, always the realistic tension of getting shot, and the enemy was unique. It threw me off alot with how it revealed itself. Opener mc that passed away was a Matt Kerns throwback and it made me desire a buddy book with a brains/brawn partnership if you make one someday. The brutality of the bratva was very descriptive, as well as the consequence of them following Russian law through gray areas. Only thing I'd say I'd say is that you pushed the sexual tension a little too much and it conflicted with a time of mourning. it's a revenge story, I'm fine with no love interest in my personal opinion. Overall, great book, I love a good Greig Beck book.
