The Siberian Incident

By: Greig Beck

Narrated by: Sean Mangan

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.

excellent adventure

loved this book. was an adventure from start to finish. you could almost feel the cold of siberia. and the russian was great. loved it

Clive Cussler's The Thing, with Russian Mafia

My elevator pitch for this: Clive Cussler's version of "The Thing", with Russian Mafia problems.
If that concept catches your attention, or if you'd enjoy a modern version of old 1950's monster attack movies (The Deadly Mantis, Attack of the Crab Monsters), then this is for you.
There's some Clive Cussler style with history backstory, science, some tough good guys, and Russian Mafia antagonists. Oh...and horrible The Thing like creatures, in Siberia.

Pros:
Keeps a decent pace
Simple horror/thriller
Avoids Clive Cussler style lengthy technobabble

Cons:
Scientist exposition, but matches the style of 1950s B-movie military horror that explains everything.
Typical stupid scientist/person cliche
Characters aren't that complex
Simple horror/thriller

Couldn’t put it down!

Do you still say that about an audio book? Listened to this in 3 days! I love the movie The Thing & it def has that element - add non stop action & creepy creatures - loved it!
