Afterlife

Greenland's permafrost has pulled back too far, too fast, and in the meltwater beneath a buried ice body thirty-four thousand years old, paleoclimatologist Noor Kazemi finds something still breathing. Aboard the research vessel carrying her samples south, a deckhand's body begins to rebuild itself. No port will take the ship. Three governments want it sunk. Noor has days to decide what the organism truly wants — and what she is willing to lose to answer it.
