Europa II

Don't let it get to Earth Four million years ago: The object slammed into the Europan ice with a sound like cracking bone. And from its ruptured shell poured something far worse than death. The thing was a hollow, perfectly engineered nightmare - a spacecraft, delivery system, seed pod, and birthing chamber fused into one horrifying capsule. And it vomited forth a horde of ravenous lifeforms that knew neither pity nor restraint. Yesterday: the massive Russian vessel Svyatogor touched down on the icy moon to investigate the fate of a previous expedition. Despite urgent American warnings about an extinction risk lifeform, the Russians landed anyway. Captain Alexi Novikov discovered the horrifying truth too late. The creature doesn't just kill - it devours flesh, blood, mind, and memory, then perfectly mimics its victim. And the horror they awakened has already slipped aboard their ship. Now, only Alexi and the ship's loyal dog, Nishka, stand in its way. They have one mission: the horrifying creature must never reach Earth.
