Synopsis

Under 30,000 feet of water, the experimental exploration rig Leaguer has discovered an oil field larger than Saudi Arabia, with oil so sweet and pure, nations would go to war for the rights to it.
But as the team starts drilling exploration well after exploration well in their race to claim the sweet crude, a deep rumbling beneath the ocean floor shakes them all to their core. Something has been living in the oil, and it's about to give birth to the greatest threat humanity has ever seen.
The first book in Paul E Cooley's Parsec Award-winning series, The Black is a suspenseful thriller that puts the horror and action of movies such as Leviathan and Carpenter's The Thing right into listeners' hands.
This second edition includes a completely revised text.

It is a beautiful twisted story that will leave you with many questions at first, but the journey of the stranger unfolds as it is told through his eyes.

If you are looking for top tier darkness, an exploration of the worst of what humanity can devolve into, written with elegant prose that will churn the stomach, engender tears, produce a cackle, and shake you to your bitter core, then......more
