Think of this as a Jules Verne book on steroids, with paramilitary forces..... and a cool dog. It's not quite Journey to the Center of the Earth, but it is a mile or so under Antarctica, where a crazy nasty world of unimagined creatures dwell. Combine the undersea world with one or two crazy scientists, a released land-killing plague and a lot of burly men in cammo with big guns and you have a non-stop action novel with a bit of sci-fi thrown in there. A big hearty book that keeps you interested the entire ride.

About the Book
A remote military research station sends out a frantic distress call, ending with a chilling final command: Kill us all! Personnel from the neighboring base rush in to discover everyone already dead-and not just the scientists, but every living thing for fifty square miles is annihilated: every animal, plant, and insect, even bacteria.The land is entirely sterile-and the blight is spreading.
To halt the inevitable, Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma must unravel a threat that rises out of the distant past, to a time when Antarctica was green and all life on Earth balanced upon the blade of a knife. Following clues from an ancient map rescued from the lost Library of Alexandria, Sigma will discover the truth about an ancient continent, about a new form of death buried under miles of ice.
From millennia-old secrets out of the frozen past to mysteries buried deep in the darkest jungles of today, Sigma will face its greatest challenge to date: stopping the coming extinction of mankind.
But is it already too late?
