Book Review: Vostek by Steve Alten

East Antarctica: The coldest, most desolate location on Earth. Two-and-a-half miles below the ice cap is Vostok, a six thousand square mile liquid lake, over a thousand feet deep, left untouched for more than 15 million years. Now, marine biologist Zachary Wallace and two other scientists aboard a submersible tethered to a laser will journey 13,000 feet beneath the ice into this unexplored realm to discover Mesozoic life forms long believed extinct – and an object of immense power responsible for the evolution of modern man.

Excerpts from Amazon Customer Reviews

“I was so very excited for this to come out as I have read the Meg series, The Loch and Sharkman and I can honestly say this is yet again another favorite that I just can’t seem to want to put down. If u love Deep Sea Jurassic Monsters this is a must for your collection… Alten has yet to disappointment me and has become one of my favorite authors since the very first Meg book hit the shelves.”

“A page-turner. Suspense, mistery [sic] and knowledge combined in a wonderful novel. Exciting and engaging! I hope to see more titles by Alten.”

“If this was ever made into a movie, I would be hiding behind the couch. There are so many intense moments that I had to put the book down.”

“Excellent story, well written. Definitely a seasoned and talented author. Would buy it all over again. Bought it as a gift for a family member. They let me read it first, and I wish I’d kept it for myself.”

 

On January 27, Alten experienced his own close encounter, along with Dr. Steven M. Greer, the world’s foremost authority on Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and twenty-four other members of a week-long SiriusDisclosure.com retreat in Vero Beach, Florida. Taught by Dr. Greer, CE-5 (close encounter-5) uses meditation and remote viewing techniques to communicate peaceful intentions to Extraterrestrials. At approximately 9:10 PM on Tuesday night, an ET ship appeared over the ocean before the group. Minutes later, a second identical ship appeared, each vehicle represented by a brilliant orange light. “It was incredible,” says Alten. “As if two suns had risen at night. Our visitors were letting us know they approved. Moments after they passed back into a higher dimension, two military jets flew in to investigate.”

The close encounter was captured on two powerful night vision cameras and can be viewed on this link:  https://vimeo.com/118627585
