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.

For lovers of John Carpenter’s The Thing, comes a tale of Alien Horror from international best selling author, Greig Beck.

Better than expected. Russians and aliens from outer space written into an interesting story. Worth the $5. Sale price!

This book had me on edge wanting more. This will definitely be one of my top 5 books I've listened to on Audible and definitely added to my physical collection soon.

Amazing

After reading Greig Beck's Primordia trilogy (which admittedly I was a little hard on because I know enough about paleontology to nitpick depictions of prehistoric life) I took a gander at some of his other works to see if anything else from him would pique my interest. I was not disappointed with The Siberian Incident. Unlike Primordia, it doesn't really cross into any territory I can nitpick, so I was able to enjoy it for what it is. The plot is well-paced, the characters and their development are interesting, and there is enough going on throughout the progression of the story that it kept me interested in what happens next. I will be checking out more of his works.

My only complaint is that the narrator would mispronounce words. Moat of these mispronounced words are simple and had he done a little searching could have learned the proper way to say them. Other than that the story was good and the narrating was was good.

Great story, good read only one complaint

It started off kind of slow and was worried. But this really turned out to be a great book. enjoyed listening to every minute of it I couldn't wait to start it back up each time I was done for the day.

Turned out to be an excellent book.

Writers tend to struggle with dialogue, and this author certainly does. Also, you don't need to TELL me how badass a character is so constantly. You simply need to show me. It makes it really hard to believe when I'm being told how to think of a character instead of letting me get there by myself.

Fun story, decent narrator, terrible dialogue.

I enjoyed the story line and found the first half of the book enjoyable. I thought the author took a creative approach to aliens and it didn't seem cliche. The second half of the book had way to many drawn out fight scenes with way too much useless dialog. There were a few logical fallacies that I didn't like but what bothered me the most was the drawn out conversation and banter in whats supposed to be life/death situations. The very end of the book was a let down but I suppose it sets up book 2.

Creative but Frustrating

The book is good especially with parallel stories of carter messing with Russian mafia and the aliens on the other side but it’s very generic and i never felt a moment where characters understood that they are doomed.

Overall a solid and enjoyable mixture of sci-fi, mystery, and horror. The suspense was not enthralling in that you know, the entire time, that there is some sort of monster lurking nearby, and are just waiting for the characters to become aware of it. Reasonably well-read by S. Mangan, with one small complaint that the female characters' voices could have been made more distinguishable.
