✦ Synopsis

Reformatted and corrected.

They ripped the veil off the past. Dr. Eric Lane’s party of five crept across the frozen Antarctic seeking the discovery of the ages. For this explorer-archaeologist was following the startling account of a sea captain who had fished a lifeless organism from distant Antarctic waters--a devilish monstrosity that was entirely unknown to the science of modern man. But upon close scientific examination, Dr. Lane discovered this new species wasn’t something from Mother Nature. Its make-up and composition had all the earmarks of some kind of wild genetic engineering, which left Lane to beg the question: Had there once been intelligences on Earth so much higher than our own that they could create new life forms? But even with all his excitement, Dr. Lane was only expecting to find fossils, and perhaps even some ruins. He did not suspect--until too late--that he was opening a Pandora’s box of living horrors.
