Publisher's summary

Something has travelled for a billion years to find us - and now it has.

In space, Commander Mitch Granger and his crew are nearing the end of their scientific mission - along with their covert satellite photography for the military. As they prepare for reentry, an unknown object emerges from the void: the name given to deep, dark space. The object proves impossible to evade. The crew have one option left - to bring the fragment aboard.

Immediately, all contact with the shuttle is lost. NASA watches helplessly as their craft breaks orbit and heads back to Earth, where it crashes high up in the Revelation Mountains of Alaska. The space agency puts together an emergency recovery team, but the Russians also want the US military photographic data on board.

The race is on to be the first to the crash site, nearly 10,000 feet up in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth. But there is another problem. Satellite images show that something else came down in the shuttle, something moving about when no one should be alive. And that seems to be growing at an alarming rate.

NASA needs help and protection. Send in the HAWCs. But even HAWC captain Alex Hunter, the last supersoldier of the Arcadian program, has never come up against a threat so old and from so far....

Not his best

The idea behind this story was up to par with Mr. Beck's excellent style but, unlike him, the story dragged with continuous descriptions of the creatures encountered to the point of boredom ... something I thought I'd never say about one of his books!!

Another Roaring Adventure

Another outstanding adventure! Hunter and his hawks search for secret intel and discover Hellish conditions.

The best yet

Very interesting book. Creepy, suspenseful, and fast paced. The characters are great, as always.
Absolutely loved the brief mention of another series. Will be eager to see how that plays out.
The epilogue was fantastic!! Made me raise my eyebrows in surprise.
Can't wait for the next book!

Sean Mangan is a very good narrator, even if a few words are pronounced peculiarly.

Another amazing book!

This has been another amazing book!! I’m so glad I found these books! Truly awesome!

damned good read or listen

beck is brilliant...
story concept and plot twist are nothing short of nail biting....As the reader you will find yourself yelling out loud with hunters triumphs and struggles...
Sean sometimes grates on your ears with
word mis fires and diction delivery but...
then again maybe that's his style....?
all in all loved this one....

Another great listen by Greg Beck.

I know that there is a lot of junk in space but I try not to dwell on life form's that can harm or even destroy all life on Earth. That's why I love to listen to Greg Beck's wonderful novels. I listen, I get the willie's up and down my spine, and then I try to forget about that possibility. This one is going to be hard to forget the bad things.

outstanding

I give this series 4 stars instead of five so it like the series can grow.
1) the stories in this series (for me are outstanding and fire my imagination of what if and what is)
2) the characters I enjoyed getting to know for a long time. but towards the last couple stories the insight into their characters has become somewhat lacking. as if the author does not trust us to accept where they are going or has not mapped out his plans. and as he has brought in new and older characters we should be brought up to speed. not left with cookie crumbs. the timeline should remain smooth. this area of book 7 I have the most problems with. with one exception. I think insight into the hammer appears to have become clear. unless this is all misdirection.
3- the future of this series looks both promising and exciting. can not wait.
4- one criticism. the blow by blow of each battle is a bit much almost like a word count. it is boring and time consuming. and takes time from the story. and the story is what we want.

Action Packed

Alex Hunter has done it again! Great story and if you don't know it Greig Beck is a outstanding writer, I enjoy the adventures he writes.

bought it twice

I loved the book so much I preordered it just so I can listen again on audiobook!

Fabulous

Wow, I really enjoyed this wild ride, I was expecting the AI to merge with The Arcadian see even my brain was in overload with the story. But wait will
It all be for nothing oh can’t wait for the next book
