IN WHICH... Elizabeth Anastasia Davis is simply trying to keep her busy social life afloat and keep her 4.0 GPA stable so she can get out of Hawkins.

Alone in a secluded laboratory in South West England, she returns to a discarded experiment involving monkeys, typewriters, and probability. The results should be meaningless. They are not.

SYNOPSIS On the frozen world of Eres, the Vega Colony was meant to be humanity's fresh start-a sanctuary for sixty-three souls beneath blood-red skies and endless ice. But when Dr. Marla Reyes's research team unearths something ancient from the glacier's depths, they unleash a nightmare that should have stayed buried. The organism they discover doesn't just kill-it replaces. It learns. It adapts. And it wears human faces with terrifying perfection. Thirty days after the outbreak, Captain Mara Bishop arrives with the United Earth Rescue Task Force to find Vega Colony a frozen tomb. The research sector is ash. The corridors are silent. And Dr. Isabella Reyes-sister of the expedition's lost leader-is the sole survivor, haunted by the knowledge that her sister tried to stop this before it began. Now, trapped on a hostile world with dwindling supplies and failing systems, Bishop's twelve-person team faces an enemy that cannot be reasoned with or easily destroyed. The creature assimilates its victims, absorbing their memories, their skills, their very identities. It thinks like them. Hunts like them. And it's learning faster than they can adapt. As the team uncovers the horrifying truth about illegal experiments, black-site research, and the organism's prehistoric origins, they realize this isn't just a rescue mission anymore-it's containment. Because if even a single cell of this thing reaches Earth, humanity's last hope dies on the ice. When paranoia becomes survival and allies become enemies, one question remains: How do you kill something that's already dead? And when the monster can become anyone... who do you trust?
