Science Horror of the Best Kind
Rob Nesbit has crafted a story that skillfully combines science and horror like a master. Imagine the xenomorph from the Alien films, but more intelligent, increasing its crafty deadliness.
And in the character of Ben Sherman, the main protagonist, Nesbit has created a worthy successor to the crown of Dr. Bernard Quatermass who first introduced the world to the combination of deduction mixed with hard science as well as horror.
There are a number of typos in the book, but not enough to distract you from an amazing tale of scientists faced with an unbelievably vicious foe.

Unusual reading for me
Like the author spent several months at the FS College so familiar with this beautiful part of England.
Not a great fan of sci-fi but enjoyed the book apart from the American spellings.
Will I read the next one.....YES !

That ending!
Beneath is a gory sci-fi feast - and that’s just what Nesbitt’s ancient alien did on its hapless victims! Creative and graphic, it’s sure to pique the interest of sci-fi and horror lovers alike, but be prepared for an ending that will have you grabbing the next book!

New twist on alien invasion
I enjoyed this book.mostly because it was a totally new and different depiction of an alien. Plot and characters developed nicely, keeping the reader absorbed in the action. Recommended for any fan of sci-fi and suspense.

A fun and entertaining read!
No, not really 5-star literature, but I enjoyed this so much I'm hoping more people will read it. Talented writer, engaging and well edited story.
