Alex Hunter, code named Arcadian, wakes up with no knowledge of who he is, in the care of a woman he doesn't recognise, in a country not his own. But there is a calling deep within him, to return home to Black Mountain. Formed a billion years ago, the Appalachian's Black Mountain hosts a terrible legend. Only one elder remains to guard its long-forgotten, deadly secret and there is a fear that there is evil lurking again. Some hikers have gone missing, and the rescue team sent to search for them has not returned. Meanwhile, in nearby Ashville, Professor Matt Kearns is drawn into the mystery of an ancient artefact recovered from the mountainside, and an image too grotesque to be real. A survivor is then found half-alive, covered in blood – blood revealed to be not quite human. Alex must confront an age-old enemy of man and discover the truth about his past, and confront the horror that stalks the frozen mountain, and also the one haunting his very soul.

From debut thriller author Greig Beck comes Beneath the Ice, a mix of the scientific and the supernatural ... When a plane crashes into the Antarctic ice, exposing an enormous cave system, a rescue and research team is dispatched. Twenty-four hours later, all contact is lost. Captain Alex Hunter and his highly trained commandos, along with a team of scientists, are fast tracked to the hot zone to find out what went wrong. Meanwhile, the alluring petrobiologist Aimee Weir is sent to follow up on the detection of a vast underground reservoir. If the unidentified substance proves to be oil, every country in the world will want to know about it—even wage war over it. Or worse. Once suspended into the caves, Alex, Aimee, and the others can't locate a single survivor—or even a trace of their remains. Nor is there a energy source, only specters of the dead haunting the tunnels. But soon they will discover that something very much alive is brewing beneath the surface. It is a force that dates back to the very dawn of time—an ancient terror that hunts and kills to survive...

When the coalition of Allied Forces established an international zone in Iraq, they meant to bring peace to the region. They were succeeding – until the moment something hulked into the zone and detonated a nuclear bomb. The last images from the area prior to the blast are not of drones or the trail of an ICBM. Instead they show a solitary figure carrying the enormous weapon to the soon-to-be ground zero on its back. Consulting an ancient prophecy, scholars warn that an ancient evil has returned, wielding the power to raise the dead to do its bidding. Major Jack Hammerson, leader of the elite commandos known as the HAWCs knows that only one one soldier is up to the task. But he cannot do it alone. Alex Hunter, the Arcadian, teams up with old ally and Mossad spy Adira Senesh to unravel the age old prophecy, tracing it back to the very heart of madness. Perfect for fans of Matthew Reilly, Steve Alten, Myke Cole, Graham Masterton, James Rollins and Michael Crichton. "The Alex Hunter stories just keep getting better with each book.

Stepping inside "The Void" or diving into the vortex sets off a chain reaction all over the universe. Some believe that the universe is like a black hole in which one person just keeps falling forever. Floating in space might not just be falling; you could actually be raising. Space can also be seen as flat instead of deep. Like the shape of a galaxy and such celestial bodies. If the universe forces you to fall into it where are you being warped to? "The Void" puts you in a world where you are leaping through alternate universes and not knowing your final destination. Imagine being warped into a world completely unknown and the burden is so cumbersome that your mind is altered. Permanently imbedding an image of reality that will unwillingly shape the course of your life. "The Void" can be interpreted in different ways, for example the physical and the internal. Physically a lot that is experienced in "The Void" is very possible form the common act of love to the infamous act of violence. Then there is the internal, a path or a portal that transcends imagination and reality. A place where only the sub conscience can conjure and create an alternate universe. For example in the story "The Tomb" we can only imagine a place like heaven until that un-welcoming moment of death arrives. There is no such place as we know it but we can imagine such place. The internal thought behind "The Tomb" is the internal struggle that humans have, to be someone of importance and someone of purpose. Why are we here in this earth and in this great universe alone? Why have a soul and why do we feel chosen?
