About this listen

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.

Performance was good, but characters and story felt forced and inconsistent. Felt like the book couldn't decide if it wanted to be the thing, Taken or Rambo and ends up a confusing jumble of the three

not bad but not amazing

imaginative, could see it happening

The protagonist of the first third of the book exists as a reason to introduce the "brutally handsome" Carter Stenson, a dull pastiche of the machismo American ex special forces character, who beats, and shoots his way to success, saving the day and rekindling an old romance with his brothers wife.

Carter Stenson is the worst.
