Vostok

By Steve Alten

Book Overview

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 15 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. In this sequel to The Loch and prequel to the upcoming MEG 5: Nightstalkers, New York Times best-selling author Steve Alten offers readers a crossover novel that combines characters from two of his most popular series. Steve Alten is the New York Times and International bestselling author of fourteen novels, including the MEG series about Carcharodon Megalodon, the 70-foot, 100,000 pound prehistoric cousin of the Great White shark and Domain trilogy, a series about the Mayan Calendar's 2012 doomsday prophecy. His work has been published in over 30 countries and is being used in thousands of middle and high school curriculum as part of Adopt-An-Author, a free teen reading program, which he founded with teachers back in 1999.

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.
