The Iron Wolf Strain - When Siberian Dark Awakens #1006221

***The Permafrost Chronicles - Book 2 ***

THE ARCTIC NIGHTMARE WAS JUST THE BEGINNING. NOW, THE PERMAFROST IS ERUPTING.
 
Deep in the frozen barrens of Eastern Siberia, a secret Cold War bunker hides a terrifying corporate truth. Dr. Oliver Finn stopped the infection at the North Pole—but he didn’t destroy the data.
 
Evelyn Finn refuses to believe the corporate lies. When her brother, an elite Navy SEAL doctor, mysteriously vanished in the Arctic, the official report blamed an industrial accident. But an encrypted, dying satellite transmission from Oliver tells a different story. Following the ghost signal, Evelyn tracks his final data burst to Naukograd-47—a hidden research complex buried beneath the coldest inhabited place on Earth.
 
A mutated virus. A tactical army of monsters. A cold war legend.
 
Inside the Siberian subterranean lab, the ruthless Aegis Borealis corporation has partnered with General Dmitry “The Iron Wolf” Voronin. Together, they have done the unthinkable: weaponized the prehistoric Lattice Strain. By splicing human DNA with ancient apex predators, they have created a new breed of Draugr—pain-immune monsters that retain human tactical combat intelligence and weapon skills.
 
But during a live military demonstration, the experiment shatters. The cages fail.
 
Now, a tactical army of infected Gulag prisoners is loose, hunting down the guards and asieging the surface. And out in the snow-choked forests of the Taiga, an even deadlier threat has awakened—a Siberian Jötunn that hunts in packs with brutal coordination.
 
Trapped in a -60°C blizzard with a ruthless Soviet general on her heels and an evolving, heat-resistant airborne pandemic escaping into the nearest port city, Evelyn must team up with a local Spetsnaz guide to launch a desperate counter-strike.
 
If they fail to lock down Siberia, the ancient dark will consume the globe. And this time, fire won’t be enough to burn it out.
 
The gripping second installment of The Permafrost Chronicles. A pulse-pounding techno-thriller that combines the relentless military action of Brad Thor, the scientific terror of Michael Crichton, and the gritty suspense of Metro 2033.
