About this series
Xtro – The new threat to Mankind.
Alien Invasive Horror Thriller
Still recovering from their recent ordeal fighting EV1L in the Russians secret underground laboratory, Richard, Boris, and the surviving members of the SEAL team find themselves battling a new alien species.
It only has one objective, to reproduce and spread its spores across the planet.
It could prove to be the deadliest extraterrestrial foe yet encountered.
Failure to stop it spawning will bring about an event of apocalyptic proportions—the annihilation of the human race and a new species not of this Earth ruling the world.
From Siberia to the remote American town of Devil Falls, Richard's unwavering drive for self-preservation will be pushed to its limits if he is to survive his latest confrontation with an alien species.
Xtro is the fourth book in the best-selling ICE RIFT series and continues directly where ICE RIFT-SIBERIA ended. Although it can be read as a stand-alone book, I would recommend you read the whole series for maximum reading pleasure and to understand the characters and their motivation.
"I'll tell you how dangerous it is in a language you movie-loving Americans will understand. It would eat The Thing for breakfast, Alien for lunch, Predator for dinner, and still have room for dessert!" Richard Whorley

1
Humans have always looked to the stars for signs of Extraterrestrials. They have been looking in the wrong place. They are already here, entombed in a spaceship beneath Antarctic ice for thousands of years. The ice is melting and they will soon be free. A huge rift in the ice is discovered in Antarctica that stretches for 18 miles, (29 km) and 820 feet (250 meters) apart at its widest point. When environmental scientists enter the ice rift to check out an anomaly on NASA's satellite scans of the area, they discover something far more life threatening than the raging blizzard trapping them in the rift. They are unarmed and unprepared for their ensuing fight for survival. Though Ice Rift - Salvage, is a continuation of the story from Ice Rift, it was brought about by readers feedback saying they would like to read a follow on book. Ice Rift can be read as a complete story. There is no cliffhanger or abrupt ending. Ice Rift plot themes: Action Adventure Survival Horror Science fiction First Contact Aliens Spacecraft Exploration "An exciting adrenaline rush that rarely lets you stop for a breather." "The story quickly draws you in and refuses to let go until the last page. An excellent adventure set in Antarctica. 10/10." "The imaginative mind of the author has produced a thrilling action adventure horror filled with atmosphere and claustrophobic locations. I dreaded each time the characters opened another door. Highly enjoyable read." "Atmospheric locations and a cleverly written plot full of surprises. Richard was my favourite character. It was easy to imagine myself exploring the spacecraft with them. I liked the way the scientists had no weapons to defend themselves with, but had to rely on their wits to survive. It made a change from the usual gung-ho hero machinegun killing scenarios."

Action adventure sci-fi horror set in Antarctica. The spaceship entombed in the huge iceberg calved from the Pine Island Glacier drifts towards the warmer air and ocean temperatures of the South Atlantic. The race is on to claim the alien technology before the ice melts and releases its hold on the trapped alien vessel. The mission: Board the spaceship and salvage as much alien technology as possible before the doomed vessel sinks to the bottom of the ocean. The obstacles: A disintegrating iceberg, a collapsing spaceship, an armed Russian salvage force intent on claiming alien technology for themselves, an approaching storm, and the biggest obstacle of all—the spacecraft's alien inhabitants. The aliens have another mission—survival—and when opposing species clash, there can be only one victor. Ice Rift - Salvage is the sequel to Ice Rift, which needs to be read first to gain the most enjoyment from the story. Feedback "Ice Rift and Ice Rift Salvage are the two most relentless non stop action stories I have ever read." "Nonstop action! Great characters! Cool technology! I so badly want another book in this series. Thank you for the awesome adventure!!" "Love Aliens and suspence Read this but first read Ice Rift one best well written novels I have read in awhile. NO padding just continously thrills and action."

When all is ready, EV1L and her hoard of vicious offspring will emerge from the facility and head for the nearest city to start their conquest of Earth. When the Americans intercept a plea for help from the secret facility and learn of the alien menace, a crack team is rushed to Siberia.
