This is my second book by William Meikle, and I do enjoy his writing. This book is full of creepy creatures, a chilling setting and lots of action. Worth the read if you are a creature feature enthusiast!

Meikle really is a maestro of fear. He knows how to add just the right notes, when to increase the tempo, when to crescendo to a furious pace, all while captivating his audience with a perfect production. Infestation has everything I love in a read. A tight plot. Interesting and believable characters. Realistic dialogue that flows easily without feeling forced. All the right notes.

British Soldiers are sent to investigate what a mysterious Russian ship is doing in the Artic Waters and what results is a action packed, bloody, squirming, squelchy, sea creature feature battle with what has been lurking under the sea waiting.
A quick read so not much character development or deep story line just fast paced action with a good dose of humour thrown in. I have heard this isn't the authors best so would certainly like to try some of his other books in this series.
