About this listen

A team of scientists has awakened an organism that has lain dormant beneath the ocean floor for millions of years.

“This is Dr. Mira Stone at Academy Station…”

When the Air National Guard receives an emergency call for help from a remote Arctic research station in Greenland, Senior Master Sergeant Dan Cameron is chosen to lead the rescue mission. All he and his team know for sure is that the facility has lost primary power and the integrity of the complex has been compromised.

“Something is in here with us. Six of us are already dead.”

In an attempt to combat climate change, the scientists have genetically engineered an aquatic biofilm capable of generating oxygen and lowering the temperature of the underlying seawater, producing environmental conditions that awaken an organism that has lain dormant beneath the ocean floor for millions of years.

“Academy Station is lost. Do not - I repeat - do not attempt to reclaim...”

By the time Cameron arrives, the scientists have abandoned the smoldering ruins of the station. He discovers their trail leading across the glacier, but theirs aren’t the only tracks he finds. Something inhuman is hunting the survivors, and he needs to find them before it does, because the most terrifying thing about the creature is…you’ll never see it coming.

Exceptional

Chimera has been a pleasure to listen to, scientifically desciptive, bountiful in intrigue and drama. The narrator performance brings it to life!

Almost good.

it was almost a great SciFi monster story, but the main protagonist ruined it for me. Too many annoying acts and lines, she just got more hammy and cliched towards the end.
And I'm pretty sure almost every death was accompanied by someone screaming "no!" and being dragged away dramatically.
