The Thaw

The ice was never empty.

James Hunt took the job in Alaska for the money. Seven more months at a remote drilling station, and he could give his family a better life.

Then the readings changed.

Deep beneath the permafrost, his team discovers a strange energy source—and creatures that should have been dead for millions of years. It is the discovery of a lifetime.

Until they bring a piece of it to the surface.

As prehistoric predators tear through Washington, James races to reach his mother and sister. Roads become hunting grounds. Cities fall silent. And the company behind the drilling operation knows far more than it admits.

But exposure has changed James too.

He can feel the creatures moving. Draw on powers he cannot explain. Survive things that should kill him.

Every time he uses those powers, he feels something answering from beneath the ice.

Something older than the predators.

Something that knows his name.

The Thaw is an apocalyptic science-fiction thriller combining prehistoric horror, corporate conspiracy and a desperate fight to keep a family alive.

They woke the predators. Something else was already awake.
