After a sinkhole opens in the Antarctic Ocean just off the Ross Ice Shelf a team is sent to investigate and map the uncharted depths. Unfortunately, the adventure is derailed when the team is forced to fend off monstrous sea-life like giant spider crabs, suicidal octopi and a pod of raging-mad killer whales. The coup de grace, though, is the giant eel-like monster that destroys two of the team's exploratory submersibles before trying to take a bite out of the hovering underwater complex itself ... threatening to sink it to the bottom of the 30,000-foot-deep chasm.

The entire mission objective is only one line long: search and destroy. A team of elite soldiers are sent back in time through a tech-enhanced rift to arrive 100 million years in Earth’s past–the Cretaceous. The time of dinosaurs. Their goal is to hunt down and eradicate a swarm of genetically modified super-predators codenamed Goliath. Unfortunately, they suffer numerous casualties due to an unexpected menace.

The journal leads the explorers to the site of the ruined village in the shadow of a mountain—a hollow mountain with a colossal ziggurat inside. It is a temple built to honor one of the Moche religion’s chief deities—a building-sized spider known as The Decapitator. Once revered for its strength and protection, this colossal Spider is now a caged monster driven insane by centuries of isolation. The massive beast stalks the group through the cavernous temple, ready to torture and slay the entire academic expedition.
