- Synopsis
- A group of grad students book passage on a fishing boat, the Harbinger, to study the effects of global warming on a pod of orcas in the Bering Sea. When the ship’s crew discovers a piece of Soviet space wreckage in the ice, things get downright deadly. The Russians had experimented with tardigrades, small but resilient animals able to withstand extreme space radiation. The crew discovers that the creatures have survived their captivity in ice, but not without frightening mutation. After being locked in ice for three decades, the tardigrades won’t give up the warmth of human contact without a fight.
