About this listen

A team of scientists has awakened an organism that has lain dormant beneath the ocean floor for millions of years.

“This is Dr. Mira Stone at Academy Station…”

When the Air National Guard receives an emergency call for help from a remote Arctic research station in Greenland, Senior Master Sergeant Dan Cameron is chosen to lead the rescue mission. All he and his team know for sure is that the facility has lost primary power and the integrity of the complex has been compromised.

“Something is in here with us. Six of us are already dead.”

In an attempt to combat climate change, the scientists have genetically engineered an aquatic biofilm capable of generating oxygen and lowering the temperature of the underlying seawater, producing environmental conditions that awaken an organism that has lain dormant beneath the ocean floor for millions of years.

“Academy Station is lost. Do not - I repeat - do not attempt to reclaim...”

By the time Cameron arrives, the scientists have abandoned the smoldering ruins of the station. He discovers their trail leading across the glacier, but theirs aren’t the only tracks he finds. Something inhuman is hunting the survivors, and he needs to find them before it does, because the most terrifying thing about the creature is…you’ll never see it coming.

meticulous scientific Details slowed the pace until halfway, then it gradually built up to an ok scifi horror ending.

Action horror for the DIY scientists out there!

so much completely indifferent information and so little action, rather disappointing, thought I was reading a juicy horror story, but I just managed to get bored 😴

took a veeeerryyy long time to get to the point

I was glad I had a couple of science degrees when listening to this book. The scientific detail is thorough and ( almost) complete. The story builds nicely with two timelines running concurrently, the present and the response starting a week or so earlier. This works well to keep the suspense ramped up. The story is a possible near future scenario which could be a possibility, making the story so much more relevant. What happens when a scientific genetic experiment gets out of hand and escapes into the wider world? The narration was first class. My only minor gripe is a scientific illogicality towards the end, which I won't expand on further as this would be a major spoiler. Overall a first class listen.

A gripping thriller
