Plunge - Joe Hill
A small salvage crew and a marine biologist are hired by an oil company to investigate why a 46-year-old wreck off Alaska has recently begun sending a distress call. They find the crew, all right, but they aren't alive any more. The problem is, they aren't quite dead, either. The beings animating the former crew need the salvage crew to do something for them, and they offer trade, or violence. The problem is, what these beings want could result in a something very, very bad. This is a well-written, creepy story with an eerie atmosphere, a high body count, and a few clever twists. It's a sort of homage to The Thing, mixed with a touch of Alien. [4]
