When John W. Campbell's short novel Who Goes There? first appeared in 1938, it became an instant classic. It has been filmed numerous times, most famously by John Carpenter as The Thing.

John Betancourt's sequel -- authorized by the Campbell estate -- is a dramatic reimagining of the universe Campbell created. Here, the events of Campbell's original story actually happened more or less as described, Campbell found out about them, and published his classic tale based on a top-secret army report. When a second alien spaceship is discovered in Antarctical, the U.S. military decides to dig it out...potentially putting all humanity as risk!

This original novel builds on what Campbell started and in the kickoff to a trilogy featuring one of the iconic monsters of science fiction...the Things!
