Alex Hunter, code named Arcadian, wakes up with no knowledge of who he is, in the care of a woman he doesn't recognize, in a country not his own. But there is a calling deep within him, to return home to Black Mountain. Formed a billion years ago, the Appalachian's Black Mountain hosts a terrible legend. Only one elder remains to guard its long-forgotten, deadly secret and there is a fear that there is evil lurking again. Some hikers have gone missing, and the rescue team sent to search for them has not returned.
Meanwhile, in nearby Asheville, Professor Matt Kearns is drawn into the mystery of an ancient artifact recovered from the mountainside, and an image too grotesque to be real. A survivor is then found half-alive, covered in blood - blood revealed to be not quite human. Alex must confront an age-old enemy of man and discover the truth about his past, and confront the horror that stalks the frozen mountain, and also the one haunting his very soul.

"As usual I thoroughly enjoyed this Alex Hunter book. Filled with action and long lost species, it was a good read. I must admit though that I am not over fond of the female lead, but I suppose that she is a necessary evil. I look forward to the next instalment!" — Emma (4 out of 5 stars)

" Another action-packed (almost too action-packed) adventure of "the Arcadian," Alex Hunter. "
" it's pathetic that i can't begin to put into words how great i think the alex hunter series books are lol they're action packed sci fi thrillers that i have enjoyed reading over and over again. "
" Absolutely fantastic. The only problem I have ever had with Greig Beck's book is that they are so engrossing that they are over far too quick. If you haven't read Beck's books do yourself a favor and read them. Fantastic author "
" You know there are some books that you can't put down, for anything. Black Mountain is one of those books. It's a heart-pounding, adrenalin fueled thriller, full of plenty of action and horror. The best Alex Hunter yet. "
" Outstanding. Loved Black Mountain. So looking forward to more adventures with Arcadian. "
" Like in all Alex Hunter books the prolog and the side stories are brilliant. The main plot, however action packed it may be, feels a bit repetitive. So fast and thrilling but my advice is not to read the books of this series directly one after another. "
" Another great read from my favorite Aussie author! "
" It gets better and better. Cannot wait for the next one. "
" Imaginative and bloody big-foot tale. "
" If you are a fan of this series, you won't be disappointed. "
" I really enjoyed the different aspects of this book; all the different worlds colliding. Beck has certainly done a good job! It was also nice to see the re-emergence of old characters back into the fold of the Arcadian world (: "
" Finally the Arcardian is back. Great story and it will be nice to see the Arcadian back in action. "
" Excellent read, full of very shocking twists along the way! Once you start reading you will have a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend this read everyone! "
" Man oh man! Greig Beck's books just keep getting better! Can't wait for the next one. "
