Arctic Invasion: Vol. 1 (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 75min
Engineered in a lab, Shawna Birdette isn't considered a real human - she's part of an elite army, created when Earth picked up a threatening alien radio signal from within our solar system. When the signal doesn't repeat, only Shawna and a small team remain active; the rest are placed in long-term hibernation. Shawna is sent to an outpost in Zone 5 (Antarctica) to live among the "real humans". When the rest of the team lands in Zone 5 to join Shawna, the alien radio signal returns. Super-cold vapor streams darken the skies. Temperatures plummet all over the world. Deadly alien creatures emerge from the frozen ground.
