NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this riveting, high-octane
thriller, an ancient creature is inadvertently released to wreak havoc
on the inhabitants of a desolate arctic landscape.
Alaska's Federal Wilderness Zone is one of the most dangerous and
inhospitable places on Earth. For paleoecologist Evan Marshall, an
expedition to the Zone offers an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study
the mounting effects of climate change. But once there, Marshall and his
intrepid team make an astonishing discovery: an enormous prehistoric
animal encased in solid ice. Despite repeated warnings from the local
village, and Marshall's own mounting concern, the expedition sponsors
want the creature cut from the ice, thawed, and revealed on a live
television spectacular...But then the creature disappears and an
unspeakable horror is unleashed.
