Summary
John Taine’s novel follows Dr. Eric Lane, an explorer-archeologist leading a small party across Antarctica after hearing of a strange organism recovered from nearby waters. Lane believes the creature has been made rather than naturally formed, and his search for fossils or ruins threatens to uncover living horrors instead. The book is set against Lane’s domestic life in San Francisco, where he is a widower living with his daughter Edith and reflecting on science, chance, and the different fortunes of men.
