CLient: Steve Alten for "Vostok," the sequel to "The Loch" in the second half of 2015.

Book Project: Steve Alten's "Vostok" Novel's Mini Subs. All renders were strongly influenced from Levyatan melvilleii whale fossils, underwater photographs of large male Physeter macrocephalus sperm whales, along with Steve's chosen render of the Barricuda minisub, and US Naval torpedo designs for ice pack environments.

From both SteveAlten.com and Amazon.com:

"Vostok" first published on 03 May 2016:
East Antarctica: The coldest, most desolate location on Earth. Two-and-a-half miles below the ice cap is Vostok, a six thousand square mile liquid lake, over a thousand feet deep, left untouched for more than 15 million years. Now, marine biologist Zachary Wallace and two other scientists aboard a submersible tethered to a laser will journey 13,000 feet beneath the ice into this unexplored realm to discover Mesozoic life forms long believed extinct – and an object of immense power responsible for the evolution of modern man.

In this sequel to "The Loch" and prequel to the upcoming "MEG 5: Nightstalkers," New York Times best-selling author Steve Alten offers readers a crossover novel that combines characters from two of his most popular series."
