A Cold Day In Hell

FROZEN IN ICE by Armand Rosamilia is a mix of sci-fi and horror. During an experimental flight, a pilot crashes into an alien aircraft. A hand-picked team is sent to the secret base to find out what happened to the pilot and the military project.

Although background info is provided for each character, readers never really find out the specific reason those people are chosen for the search and rescue mission, instead of a special ops team. Some of the interactions between the characters leaves something to be desired, but the fight for survival is quite intense.

The ending caught me completely off-guard. Rosamilia's creation is almost like John Carpenter's Thing, retold from the alien's POV. Captivating to the very last sentence.

As always,
