Ishtaq: The Second Vial (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998544601)

2017 FIVE TIME AWARD WINNER!Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) Medalist and Honors Recipient from the Hollywood, Southern California, London, and New England Book Festivals.After years of peaceful research aboard a secret alien spacecraft buried within the Antarctic permafrost, Brian Malcolm is suddenly locked in a desperate fight to save himself and his mates from a horrific alien entity. A freak accident has released a long-dormant organism capable of perfectly mimicking other life forms through violent assimilation. The entity is imprisoned with dozens of workers deep under the ice when a panicked crewman initiates security protocols to seal off their subterranean laboratory. As Brian and the others fight from the surface to rescue those trapped below and struggle to reconcile the bizarre and seemingly contradictory behavior of the organism, they begin to suspect that they are battling more than one form of alien life. When the evidence suggests that the creature has escaped from below and that some crewmen on the surface aren't what they appear to be, each must overcome their fear and paranoia not only to survive but to prevent the inadvertent world-wide spread of the organism by a foreign research team, which has acquired a sample of the creature and is preparing to ship it to a highly populated destination somewhere in Asia.
