Songs of Ice and Darkness

Early in the 22nd century, six explorers venture into the ocean that lies beneath the icy surface of Jupiter's moon, Europa. Their mission: to study the ecosystem powered by Europa's countless hydrothermal vents. There, in the darkness beneath the ice, the team encounters something they never expected to find -- intelligent life. Songs of Ice and Darkness is a tale of first contact, experienced through the eyes of both human and non-human characters. Tense drama and thrilling action are lightened with occasional humor as the story reveals what happens when we discover an alien civilization in our own solar system -- and they discover us.
