Publisher's Summary

For lovers of John Carpenter’s The Thing comes a tale of alien horror from international best-selling author Greig Beck.

100,000 years ago the object hit the lake at the deepest point, quickly sinking into its mile-deep Stygian darkness. The sheets of ice closed, time moved on and the land forgot.

But over the centuries, legends grew of people vanishing, of strange, deformed animals and of an unexplained luminescence down in the lake depths.

When Marcus Stenson won the lucrative contract to create a sturgeon fish farm on the site of disused paper mill on the shore of Lake Baikal, he thought he had won the lottery and refused to listen to the chilling folktales, or even be concerned by the occasional harassment from the local mafia.

But then animals were found mutilated in the frozen forest and people started to go missing. And worse, some came back, changed, horribly.

In the depths of the lake, something that had been waiting 100,000 years was stirring. And it needed the warmth of mankind to survive.

Fun, wild adventure!

100,000 years ago something crashed inti the deepest lake on earth, in Siberia. Since then, weird lights have been seen emanating from the depths and in modern day people in the area have been disappearing. Now, an American has won a lottery to build a sturgeon farm in the lake, to save the dwindling sturgeon population. He arrives in Siberia to begin the work. Enter his group of workers, the Russian mafia, sub-zero temperatures and terrifying occurences: disemboweled animals that are still somehow ambulatory, missing team members, cameras catching..... something, yet nothing. It's a wild and crazy adventure for fans of horror-thriller, sci-fi, and military tales. 5 stars for the pure entertainment value. The narration was also excellent.

Takes too long to get to meat of the story.

Greig Beck is hit or miss as far as this listener is concerned and, in my humble opinion, The Siberian Incident is a miss. The story is okay, at least during the final half of the book; but, the first half is just dull. Even when the story picks up the pace, I found it to be rather expected and, in that sense, disappointing. So, no book 2 for me. Regarding Sean Mangan, I found his narration much better at a 1.2 speed.

Sloppy

Cliche upon cliche. Names misspelled or, seemingly, pulled from the ceiling. As mentioned above - sloppy work. Not recommended. Kudos to narrator. He did his best with what he had.
