As Naomi lifts off into space and away from a rapidly deteriorating Earth, she watches the world fade away, and along with it Leo, a Final Six contestant she grew close to during training. Leaving Earth behind is hard, but what's ahead, on Europa, could be worse. The International Space Training Camp continues to hide the truth about what happened to the last group of astronauts who attempted a similar colonization but failed mysteriously. With one shot—at this mission and to Europa—Naomi is determined to find out if there is alien life on Europa before she and her crew get there.
Leo, back on Earth, has been working with renegade scientist Dr. Greta Wagner, who promises to fly him to space where he can essentially latch on to Naomi's ship. And if Wagner's hypothesis is right, it isn't a possibility of coming in contact with extraterrestrial life on Europa—it's a definite. With Naomi unaware of what awaits, it's up to Leo to find and warn her and the others.
With all the pieces of their journey finally clicking into place, everything else starts to fall apart. A storm threatens to interfere with Leo's takeoff, a deadly entity makes itself known to the Final Six, and the questions the ISTC has been avoiding about the previous failed mission get answered in the worst way possible. If the dream was to establish a habitable domain on Europa… the Final Six are about to enter a nightmare.
My Review:
This book was a really fantastic sequel! After the ending of The Final Six, there were so many possibilities as to where this book could go. Like how soon after The Final Six left, would Leo leave? Would he have a successful and safe take off and journey, and link up with them Ok? Just so many questions, and I loved reading this book and getting the answers!
We learned more about Wagner and her past, as well as the doomed Mars mission, what with The Final Six having to gain their supplies. Well, that doesn't go as planned, and while we had a pretty intense prologue, well, I didn't know where in the timeline it was from, so it was pretty intense reading until I got to that point, and honestly afterwards, as well, since they had so much to do!
They lost so much of their crew before they even landed on Europa. And unfortunately not our least favourite character of the group. But once they arrived, well, events moved pretty quickly, and that was just over halfway, maybe 2/3rds in. The Pages just flew by, it was such a great read!
That ending was so quick! I really enjoyed how they resolved it, but it went by so quickly! I would've liked more details, more than the extended bit of the pre-order incentive. I kinda though it was an extended ending, but it was more an extended climax, a few lines here and there. I would've liked to have had more at the end, because I still have questions. Unless we're getting a spin off with Naomi's brother. That would answer a great deal of my questions!
This book was a really great read, and I'm so glad that I did!
