Ice Moon

John Hatch

In the late twenty-second century, a team of prospectors employed by the interplanetary conglomerate, SpaceSources, lands on Jupiter's moon, Europa. Led by veteran explorer, Su Li O'Bannion, they send a probe through the ice hoping to locate minerals and organics to extract. Instead of valuable resources, Su Li and her team make an unexpected discovery.After centuries of speculation about life on the ice moon, they find proof it does indeed exist. However, it certainly was not what anyone expected. Instead of simple native lifeforms, they find a huge alien starship sitting on the muddy bottom of the dark, frigid ocean. Su Li and her team - along with a few unwelcome passengers - penetrate the ice cap and approach the alien vessel. The aliens offer a wondrous gift that is almost beyond comprehension. Why are they so generous? At what cost to humanity?To answer these questions, Su Li must overcome the actions of a preacher who believes aliens are the Spawn of Satan, and a boss who sees only an opportunity to gain personal wealth from the advanced alien technology.
