The curiosity / Stephen P. Kiernan.

Kiernan, Stephen. (Author).

Summary:

"A gripping, poignant, and thoroughly original thriller, Stephen Kiernan's provocative DEBUT novel raises disturbing questions about the very nature of life and humanity. Dr. Kate Philo and her scientific exploration team make a breathtaking discovery in the Arctic: the body of a man buried deep in the ice. As a scientist in a groundbreaking project run by the egocentric and paranoid Erastus Carthage, Kate has brought small creatures "back to life." Never have the team's methods been attempted on a large life form. Heedless of the consequences, Carthage orders that the frozen man be brought back to the lab in Boston, and reanimated.
