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 humans and aquatic Europans. 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.
