On the moon, something's not right. Eiger Station has gone dark, and no one knows why. A platoon of marines have gone to check on a group of scientists engaged in work so secret that, when it is finally discovered, stretches their imagination and sense of horror to the limit. Then things get worse. No one warned them that the mission would involve dodging zombies, crazed miners, phantoms, terrorists, and a ghostly black panther. Just when they think they have a handle on the situation, something new rears forth that challenges what they know and what they think they know about Eiger Station, themselves, and each other--all leading up to a dizzying conclusion that will make your heart skip a beat. Matt Howarth, a master in science fiction and horror, does it again with The Eiger Contagion. Think you have a handle on this kind of story? You don't. Think you can guess what will come next? You won't. This is all new ground. Watch your step.
