SUB ZERO

The only thing colder than the Antarctic air is the icy chill of death . . . Off the coast of McMurdo Station, in the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean, a new species of Antarctic octopus is unintentionally discovered. Specialists aboard a state-of-the-art DARPA research vessel aim to apply the animal's "sub-zero venom" to one of their projects: An experimental painkiller designed for soldiers on the front lines. All is going according to plan until the ship is caught in an intense storm. The retrofitted tanker is rocked, and the onboard laboratory is destroyed. Amid the chaos, the lead scientist is infected by a strange virus while conducting the specimen's dissection. The scientist didn't die in the accident. He changed."Daniel Henning was able to tell this story in a way that really added to the overall feeling and vibe that James was going for. . . . James and Henning were able to ramp up the fear levels and keep me interested late into the night." -Brian's Book Blogs
