- Used Book in Good Condition.
ORIGINS EDITION: This revised, expanded and re-edited edition of
Beneath addresses the flaws exposed by reader reviews--flaws that
have now been eradicated. This fresh version of the book is now
cleaner and also clears up some of the confusion readers felt
about the strange behavior of certain characters.
DESCRIPTION:
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, -like organisms fill the cracks
crisscrossing the moon's surface, surviving on ents 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.
PRAISE FOR BENEATH:
"Here's a near-future space adventure that's as frightening as it
is smart. Jeremy Robinson's BENEATH is packed with believable
tech, a page-turning story and an alien intelligence so creepy,
you'll pray NASA never makes it past the moon."
--J.C. Hutchins, author of PERSONAL EFFECTS: DARK ART and 7th
SON: DESCENT
"Jeremy Robinson hits his stride in BENEATH. His story-telling is
as tight as ever, delivering thrills that raise the heart rate
and science detail that gets the mind cranking just has hard. An
evocative blend of Crichton and Clarke, BENEATH is destined to
become an instant new media classic."
--Phil Rossi, Best Selling author of CRESCENT, and EDEN
"Robinson grabbed my attention in the first chapter, and kept
hold of it. BENEATH isn't your run of the mill way distant future
fantasy sci-fi. It reads like its real, like it could happen
today...but we hope and pray it doesn't."
--Basil Sands, author of 65 BELOW
"Masterful Craftsmanship...a chilling tale that finally answers
the question: Are we alone?"

PRAISE FOR JEREMY ROBINSON
"In Robinson's latest action fest, Jack Sigler, King of the Chess
Team--a Delta Forces unit whose gonzo members take the names of
chess pieces--tackles his most harrowing mission yet.Threshold
elevates Robinson to the highest tier of over-the-top action
authors and it delivers beyond the expectations even of his fans.
The next Chess Team adventure cannot come fast enough."
-- Booklist - Starred Review
"In Robinson's wildly inventive third Chess Team adventure (after
Instinct), the U.S. president, Tom Duncan, joins the team in
mortal combat against an unlikely but irresistible gang of
enemies, including "regenerating capybara, Hydras, Neanderthals,
[and] giant rock monsters." ...Video game on a page? Absolutely.
Fast, furious unabashed fun? You bet."
--Publishers Weekly
"Rocket-boosted action, brilliant speculation, and the recreation
of a horror out of the mythologic past, all seamlessly blend into
a rollercoaster ride of suspense and adventure."
-- James Rollins
"PULSE contains all of the danger, treachery, and action a reader
could wish for."
-- Steve Berry
"Wildly imaginative and diabolical."
-- Douglas Preston
