    About this ebook

    The ORIGINAL Report from Europa...
    When evidence of microscopic life on Europa—Jupiter’s sixth moon—is discovered, a crew of astronauts and scientists embark on a mission to discover its source. Led by oceanographer and biologist, Kathy Connelly, the crew is charged with the task of melting through miles of ice to the hidden ocean beneath, where the search for alien microorganisms begins. But a startling discovery awaits them on the surface of Europa—life.
    Vast fields of red, plant-like organisms fill the cracks crisscrossing the moon’s surface, surviving on nutrients welling up from the waters below. Encouraged by the discovery of life on the surface, Connelly and her crew activate the Thermal Exploratory System and melt through the ice toward a world that does not want to be found, toward an intelligence that will do anything to make sure they never leave.
    BENEATH takes all of the action, thrills, imagination and strange creatures that Jeremy Robinson is known for and puts them in the most extreme environment imaginable: the surface and sub-ice ocean of a moon four hundred million miles away from Earth.
    This updated edition has been re-edited, revised, repackaged and expanded, making this new edition of BENEATH superior to all that came before. Be sure to look for Robinson’s early standalone novels, which have likewise been revised.

      The book had an interesting premise, about life beneath the ice on other bodies in space (namely Europa). The beginning of the book felt rather disjointed and the end felt rushed. The story in between was an interesting, though light, read. There was some character development, but you didn't really get to know any of the characters well. (SPOILER ALERT) I was surprised that all the characters actually lived to the end. The way that all the characters forgot what really happened except the one who had already decided not to tell stretched the imagination past plausibility.
    • 3/5
      Good read, but it was still lacking. Character development felt forced and unbelievable. The science came off too fictiony. Despite it not being a favorite of mine it was still worth the read. The plot was intriguing and kept me interested. The book didn't get really good until page 200-ish, then I couldn't put the book down!
    • 5/5
      Beneath is well-written, imaginative and concludes well. Unlike many new writers' books, this one is enjoyable. Characters are well-developed, the plot has interesting twists, and the language is descriptive enough to paint a full image as one reads. Thank you for a good read.

      I understand that Jeremy Robinson posted this unpublished, unedited novel for sale on the Kindle as an experiment, but it really isn't in shape to be sold. There is a reason why authors work with editors--they help strengthen the work. Then again, I'm biased; I'm an editor. Ultimately, I give this novel three stars, because my frustration with sloppy story-telling, ridiculous science, and unforgivable typographic errors was balanced by Robinson's pulpy inventiveness and a sense of fun. This novel was completely ridiculous, but I just can't deny that I had a good time reading it. And it was a quick read, so I'm being generous. (BTW, Kindle readers--it's a REALLY quick read, as the novel stops at the 84% mark. The rest of the file is filled with promotional excerpts of other novels.) The story opens with a team of researchers in the Arctic. A meteorite hunter witnesses a meteorite's fall to the ice. He and his colleagues find the rock, but close contact with this object spells disaster. In the worst way imaginable, we may just have found proof of life on other planets--or moons as the case may be. The meteorite fell from Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. On the other side of the planet, Kathy Connelly and her colleagues are about to finally fulfill a goal years in the making. They're about to engage their innovative ice drilling technology to reach liquid water deep under the Antarctic ice. It'll be the discovery of a lifetime! But at the penultimate moment the organization that funds their research calls them back. And as suddenly as that, this team of researchers is on a crash training course for a space mission. Forget finding liquid water in Antarctica, they're going to drill for water on Europa. Absolutely no one is prepared for what they will discover there. Yes, this is the stuff of pulp fiction. Really, ridiculous is the best description. And stupid. Seriously, these are the most absurd and unbelievable scientists ever written. But if you come at it with the right frame of mind, you'll keep turning the pages. Just don't expect a realistic or especially coherent story. Just have a laugh and some outlandish fluffy fun.
