SCIENCE AND FICTION EUROPAS LOST EXPEDITION -...

This classically styled  chilling murder mystery about an expedition under the ice of Jupiter's
ocean moon Europa  backed up by the latest scientific findings on this icy satellite. The
science fiction premise explores real possibilities of exploring other bodies in the Solar
System  including probing their possible astrobiology. Now that the most recent world war has
concluded on Earth  human explorers are returning to exploration  carrying out a full-court
press to journey into the alien abyss using tele-operated biorobotics and human-tended
submersibles. Nine scientists head out to Jupiter's icy ocean-moon. But at Europa's most remote
outpost  one by one  the team members who shared the cruise out begin to die under suspicious
circumstances. All was well until humans begin diving into Europa's subsurface ocean. The
deaths have all the symptoms of some sort of plague  despite Europa's seemingly sterile
environment. Besides providing thrills  a science section covers the very latest in undersea
robotics  discussing the assets future explorers may have available for exploring subsurface
oceans on moons including Europa  Enceladus and Titan. The book explores the most recent
results in Europa research  from safe radiation levels for human habitation  landing sites 
subsurface ocean currents and makeup  possible plate tectonics  geyser activity on the surface
volcanic activity on the ocean floor  and Europa's bizarre exosphere. The book also covers
extremophiles and the various possible biomes on-and inside of-Europa.
