Beyond the Ice limit Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
ISBN: 1455525863, 978-1455525867 Год издания: 2016 Издательство: Grand Central Publishing Язык: Английский That thing is growing again. We must destroy it. The time to act is now...

The mission ended in disaster when their ship, the Rolvaag, foundered in a vicious storm in the Antarctic waters and broke apart, sinking-along with its unique cargo-to the ocean floor. One hundred and eight crew members perished, and Eli Glinn was left paralyzed.
But this was not all. The tragedy revealed something truly terrifying: the meteorite they tried to retrieve was not, in fact, simply a rock. Instead, it was a complex organism from the deep reaches of space.
