ABOUT THE BOOK

"SYMBIOTE" is a 93,000-word commercial thriller about a rapidly spreading extremophile parasite at the isolated South Pole Station.

“A race against time to resist the siren call of a growing hive mind, overcome the desolate environment, and stay alive long enough to solve the mystery of the parasite’s origins… before the edge of the world becomes the end of their lives.”

Based on real-world experiences at the South Pole.
