I got this hardcover from an online seller, intrigued by the concept: a skeleton crew has been left to do rather tedious maintenance at an otherwise-abandoned research facility in (what seems to be) the frozen Arctic. That is, the crew doesn't know exactly where they are, but the snow has covered the lower two floors of the building and isn't going anywhere. Anyway, it's got an odd, humorous-yet-sinister tone: it seems clear that the tasks the trio has to perform are pointless, and there are hints as to some impressively scary Event that caused the place to be abandoned in the first place, and the rules about not going outside lest they contract a kind of snow-sickness... well, yeah, something's definitely going on.

And then one of the crew spots something peeking through the ever-present snow outside. What could it be? Is it important? Dare they break the rules to investigate?

Mindless office bureaucracy meets Weird Arctic Setting!

I left this book in the large three-part LFL on this warm, breezy day; hope someone enjoys it!
