It's finally happening: the world is running out of oil.
As major nations jockey and feud for the last carbon
resources on the planet, one oil company sets its sights
on the vast energy reserves of Europa, one of the largest
of Jupiter's moons. Thought to have twice as much water as Earth, Europa
offers humanity the best chance of finding microorganic
life within the solar system—life that would prohibit
harvesting the moon’s resources under international space
laws. To confirm the presence or absence of life, Earth’s
leaders plan a manned mission to Europa. Jamie Caldicott, husband, father, and hero of a botched
Mars mission, grudgingly accepts a position on the crew.
His main concern is providing for his family. The presence
or absence of Europan life doesn't much interest him. As the mission progresses, however, it becomes evident
that powerful interests plan to harvest Europa whether or
not life exists. As they journey farther from Earth than
any manned craft before them, Caldicott discovers that
some of his crewmates aren’t who they claim to be. The fates of two worlds depend on Jamie Caldicott. If he
makes the wrong choice, he'll never return from Europa's
icy surface. A thrilling mix of Jules Verne and An Inconvenient Truth,
Europa offers a glimpse of the upcoming energy crisis and
the steps humanity must take to survive its addiction to
carbon fuels.
