    About this ebook

    "Do not come here. We are all doomed."

    The words haunt Henry Chapelton as he braves the unwelcoming waters of the Austral sea, heading toward Antarctica to save Captain Ernst Land and his ill-fated crew. What's supposed to be a rescue mission quickly turns into a fight for survival, a battle against Nature, the elements, and forces of unknown origins.

    Something has been unearthed in this desert of ice and madness. Something terrible and ancient, living within the guts of Mount Terror. A threat to Chapelton's crew who might never come back from this voyage.
