About Beneath The Dark Ice - Alex Hunter Book 1 (Unabridged)

An Antarctic rescue mission unearths an ancient evil in the first instalment of Greig Beck's bestselling Alex Hunter series. A plane plummets into the frozen Antarctic wasteland and exposes a vast subterranean cave system hidden beneath the ice. Within 24 hours, the dispatched rescue and research team vanishes without a trace. Elite commando Captain Alex Hunter and his battle-hardened HAWC squad are rushed to the site – not only to uncover the fate of the missing, but to investigate signs of a massive underground reservoir that could hold a revolutionary energy source that nations would do anything to claim. Joined by a team of scientists, they descend into the abyss, only to find no survivors. No bodies. Only ancient hieroglyphs whispering of a long-lost civilisation ... and an unspeakable primordial threat. Ghostly apparitions stalk the shadowed tunnels. Trapped deep below, the group is hunted one by one by a nightmare awakened from the dawn of time. 'Soldiers, we are not alone. Prepare to go hot.' To lead his team back to the surface, Alex Hunter must unleash the full extent of his extraordinary powers, beneath the dark ice. Note: this is a revised edition including a new author's note.
