Vostok

By Steve Alten

Book Overview

In this sequel to The Loch and prequel to MEG: Nightstalkers, New York Times bestselling author Steve Alten offers readers a crossover novel that combines characters from two of his most popular series--including the basis for the feature film, The Meg, starring Jason Statham.

East Antarctica: The coldest, most desolate location on Earth. Two-and-a-half miles below the ice cap is Vostok, a six thousand square mile liquid lake, over a thousand feet deep, left untouched for more than fifteen million years. Now, marine biologist Zachary Wallace and two other scientists aboard a submersible tethered to a laser will journey 13,000 feet beneath the ice into this unexplored realm to discover Mesozoic life forms long believed extinct--and an object of immense power responsible for the evolution of modern man.

Customer Reviews

Dispointing For A Big Alten Fan Not Up To His Usual Excellence.

I Am Sorry To Say This One Just Does Not Measure In Any Way To The High Standards And Total Entertainment Level Of Steve Alten. Some Parts Are Worth Reading, But For The Most Part, It Is Not Any Way Up To His Usual Level. I Am Very Sorry To Have To Report This. Sorry, Mr. Alten. THE LOCH IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS. This one simply does NOT measure up to it.

Great with less then great twist.

Story starts a few years after The Loch. Great story that continues story's of prehistoric monsters. Near middle of book it all changes to aliens and a multiverse of dimensions. Book does include some amazing facts and ideas that make you think about the afterlife. Great read if you aren't reading just for a monster story.
