Story4.5 out of 5 stars 527
A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in the cellar of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico ghost town. Corrie Swanson is assigned what seems to her a throwaway case: to ID the body and determine cause of death. She brings archaeologist Nora Kelly to excavate the body and lend her expertise to the investigation, and together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets, with a rictus of horror frozen on his face. Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th-century Spanish gold cross.

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....

Interesting but Uneven Story
Beck always comes up with clever plots. But as usual, there are ups and downs with this. Dumb decisions and plot holes abound, but if you like listening to a story about giant silicon-sucking insect-like thingies with eyes that look human and an insane German who talks to Hitler's preserved head, then I guess you can forgive the other silliness, And as usual, Mangan came up with his own pronunciations. Just a few: grouper, chitin, Ares, Meghan, skeletal (this is in many of Beck's books so you'd think someone would tell him how to say it), Dieter, shone, precedence, and best of all--Miguel pronounced as Ma-gwel.

Great series
Great series from a great author, and the narrator is fantastic. My favorite things about Greg Beck's work is the science behind fiction. This book delves into the history and science of the five major extinction events that happened over the period of millions to hundreds of million years. The whole of the Matt Kearns series is great, but my favorite from this author is the Alex Hunter series, and hope there is more to come in it.
