Specter of the Ice

Something woke beneath the Antarctic ice — and the last team who found it chose death over discovery. Now the glaciers are melting from the inside out, and the world doesn't know why. A new team arrives to finish what was buried, only to find they're not alone. Something walks the halls of the abandoned lab: beautiful, bloodied, and speaking in a voice that isn't one voice at all. It won't let them go below. It won't explain why. As the deaths start — some too precise to be a monster's work, some far too human — one member of the team finds himself drawn to the very thing everyone else fears most, even as the ice keeps disappearing, and the tide keeps rising, one degree at a time. Some truths cost everything to keep. The world doesn't have long enough to find out why.
