Product Description
Somewhere in the South Pacific, a fierce typhoon strikes and American tug and its desperate crew. Barely surviving the storm, the crew comes upon the Volkov, a high-tech Russian research vessel that appears to be strangely deserted. Exploring the abandoned vessel, they find all of the Russian crew dead or missing.
The Volkov is ripe for salvage, a tempting prospect, if they can claim it before any of the Russians return. But more than a potential fortune us at stake, for the ship is not as empty as it seems. There is something aboard the Volkov. Something far from human....

Deeply Flawed,
This review is from: Virus (Paperback)
This book suffers from a number of major problems, but the main one is that it's incredibly predictable. I have never in my life seen a horror movie, and I've read a grand total of two thriller novels, but despite being totally unfamiliar with the genre, I was never once surprised or caught of guard. I guessed which characters were going to survive and which were going to die when I was maybe a fourth through the comic, and the ending was [bad] and predictable. Add to that the fact that none of the characters were even remotely interesting or well-developed, and the result is a very poor comic indeed.

This review is from: Virus (Paperback)
It kept me from putting it down, full of action,aliens,and non-stop suspense. I suggest you at least check it out. It remains worth reading again.

It's Great!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Virus (Paperback)
The "Sea Star" and it's crew come up to the "Volvok". Not knowing what they will find they explore it. There is an intelegence in the ship thats trying to kill them. To survive they must be smarter than "it".
