Summary: just short of spectacular
Comment: Based on the cover of this novel (some undefinable creature holding a stone covered in runes) I was expecting a cheap thrill of some rampaging creature ripping the heads off people or something along that lines. What I got instead was a rather smart thriller that was more Alistair MacLean than Stephen King. In fact, this was like a MacLean espionage thriller with quite a bit of Dean Koontz-like horror elements grafted onto it, as a research team attempts to uncover the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster, with various individuals attempting to sabotage the expedition. A mysterious stone covered in runes also features into the story. Though the writing is not quite polished enough to make it a must-read, and the novel is perhaps a bit too ambitious for its own good, those looking for something different and challenging should seek this out.
