[IN PROGRESS]
A novelization of the game.
Jacob Lee has lived a dark and shady life. After years of struggle, though, he's finally found a way to get out of the hustle and grind of twenty fourth century poverty. Piloting cargo between the moons of Jupiter is going to get him enough to retire early.
Only it doesn't work out that way. After a fateful incident, he finds himself trapped on the dead moon of Callisto. Locked into Black Iron, the most notorious prison in the solar system, he suddenly finds himself in the midst of an impossible outbreak.
Men are turning swiftly into monsters, twisted things with the strength to rip flesh and snap bones like twigs. Feral and furious, anyone who becomes infected will soon begin killing anything they can get their hands on. Forced to trust a stranger with a life sentence, Jacob will have to call on every skill his dark past granted him in order to survive and escape the hellish nightmare...

A novelization of the 2002 video game The Thing.
Captain John Blake of the US Special Forces has fought in nearly every environment on the planet. From running down drug runners in Mexico to kidnappers in South America to Counter-Terrorism ops all over Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, he’s seen and done it all.
Or so he’d thought.
As he prepares to go on some well-earned R&R, he is suddenly shoved onto a helicopter and flown to Antarctica. Given a team and a very short briefing, Blake is tasked with investigating an isolated American research outpost that has been mysteriously destroyed.
What begins as a simple mystery and fairly straightforward mission quickly degenerates into a grim struggle for survival as Blake encounters a shape-shifting alien horror from beyond the stars. It assumes the form of those it kills and it can hide in plain sight, as anyone can be infected.
Now, Blake must assemble scattered remnants of the Special Forces personnel, scrounge for supplies, and brave the subzero antarctic temperatures, all while trying to discern who is human, and who is The Thing…
[COMPLETE]
Captain J. F. Blake of the US Special Forces has been through a hell almost no one else on the planet has experienced. After a lengthy campaign against the Thing and Colonel Whitley, he is the last man standing.
Or so he thought. After the final showdown with Whitley, Blake meets fellow veteran of the Thing R. J. MacReady, sole survivor of Outpost Thirty One. Together, these two men must lead a ragtag band of battered, exhausted survivors against Genetic Incorporated and their army of mercenaries for control of the seventh continent.
Blake isn’t sure he has what it takes, but at this point, he’s willing to die trying. He must battle the elements, mercenaries, and the living virus known only as the Thing if he’s to keep the infection from spreading to the rest of the planet. It’s time to put a stop to this once and for all…

Marcus Campbell and Ed Jones have been best friends for nearly two decades now. They live their lives of boring office jobs, fast food, and video games in the big city, but once a year, every year, they completely isolate themselves deep in the woods for two weeks. Their goal: total relaxation. Fishing, camping, drinking. Nothing but the two of them and a lot of good times.
Their choice location is Trumbull Valley, home to three small towns and a lot of beautiful countryside. As they’re wrapping up the latest vacation, they run into a true anomaly: a man in ripped and bloodied clothing, apparently insane, who is intent on taking a bite out of them. Unfortunately, it seems that this man was no anomaly.
Roughly ninety nine percent of all the residents in Trumbull Valley are equally insane and craving fresh human flesh. Now, with a handful of unstable and unlikely survivors, Marcus and Ed must do whatever it takes to stay alive within the valley, because it seems the military has instituted a quarantine, and they won’t be letting them out anytime soon…
