About The Book
“Dynamic characters headline this exhilarating fusion of action and alien horror.”
—Kirkus Reviews
A team of superbeings are all that stands between Earth and total annihilation at the hands of a predatory alien species.
An alien ship crashed into Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier 150,000 years ago and froze within the ice…until glacial melting thawed out its deadly inhabitants in the present day.
Kai and Jules Bevins, both professors of astrobiology at Caltech, are roused from their home and whisked away to the site where a special division of the army has taken charge. But not before something escaped through a breach in the hull.
Meanwhile, a pair of Alaska state troopers locate a missing Amazon driver fifteen miles away on the Juneau Icefield and trace his movements to a nearby village with a population of less than fifty. Arriving in town, they are greeted by the bodies of villagers who were killed in an impossible, horrific way.
Thousands of miles away, under a remote archaeological find in Pakistan, the Nine—a team of superbeings placed on Earth a million years ago by intergalactic colonizers that seeded our planet to create human life—are lifted from their long slumber. The kind of threat they’ve been waiting for has finally come.
The Nine find unexpected allies culled from the ancient history of their home world in the form of a teenage boy and godlike entity. All this leads to a confrontation on a volcanic island that will determine the fate of civilization, even as the Nine uncover the shattering truth behind their own tragic paths and learn of a much greater battle to come.
Will they be enough to stem the apocalyptic menace threatening all of mankind?

Raves and Reviews
“Newman and Land’s thriller, Icefall, is a bombshell of a debut: scintillating and explosive action, characters that break new ground, a worldview that spans millennia, all wrapped up in a tour-de-force story that grabs from the first page to a climax that left me breathless. I loved getting lost in this world and can’t wait to return to it. So, guys, get to writing!”
– James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestseller of Arkangel
“Wow, what an incredible novel! Icefall is a stunningly creative sci-fi thriller packed with mind-bending ideas, vivid characters, great settings, and a propulsive plot—an epic and original addition to the alien invasion genre. As I read this book, all I could think was that it would make an amazing television series. Outstanding!”
– Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Extinction
“Newman and Land tell an intense story that demands to be read in one sitting. With great characters and a fun take on an alien invasion theme, this is John Carpenter’s The Thing meets The Terminator, with a dash of Michael Crichton if he didn’t care about body count.”
– FirstClue
“Icefall is a wild blend of horror, sci-fi, and superhero action! It’s Avengers meets The Thing, but goes way beyond beyond! Thrilling from first page to last!”
– Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Red Empire and Ghosts of the Void
“Icefall is a mind-blowing page-turner that blends an astonishing array of fascinating concepts into a unique, riveting, and propulsive sci-fi thriller.”
– Jon McGoran, bestselling author of The Price of Everything
