Publisher's summary

Perfect for fans of The Illuminae Files and The 100, in this heart-racing sequel to The Final Six, the teen astronauts must figure out the truth about Europa before it’s too late.

It was hard enough for Naomi to leave Leo, a fellow Final Six contestant, behind on a dying Earth. Now she doesn’t know who to trust.

The International Space Training Camp continues to dodge every question about its past failed mission, and Naomi is suspicious that not everything is as it seems on her own mission to Europa. With just one shot at Jupiter’s moon, Naomi is determined to find out if there is dangerous 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 dock with 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, and it’s up to Leo to find and warn Naomi and the crew.

With questions piling up, everything gets more dangerous the closer that the mission gets to Europa. A storm threatens to interfere with Leo’s takeoff, a deadly entity makes itself known to the Final Six, and all questions the ISTC has been avoiding about the previous mission get answered in a terrifying way.

If the dream was to establish a new world for humans on Europa...the Final Six are about to enter a nightmare.

a bit to fast to a climax

Cool story but to me it went all a bit fast, a rush to get everything in the story.

still i liked the story in big lines and I am waiting for the next part, still wondering how it will end

also In this book I loved the narration.

Great story - but too short

I really liked this book. I read the first one and was left for wanting more, so I searched the author and found this one. This should be listed as a series. I loved the story - it was great. The book was far too short for me and left me for wanting more. It ended okay with closure, but also with an ending that there could easily be another book. So I hope there will be one coming. I liked the characters and the book was fun to listen to. The female narrator was great, however, all the female voices sounded the same. Th male voice was great and you could tell the different characters with his voice.

Loved it!

The race to get Leo ready and able to get to the docking station in time to meet with the final six before they depart for Europa is edge of your seat suspense! What is happening behind the scenes and who may be sabotaging the crew. There's a lot going on and it's a fascinating ride. I loved the romance was presented without being in your face. I will follow this author and can't wait to see what's next!

A solid read!

Part 2 of this series was just as good as the first part. Without giving away any of the storyline, our teens encounter several issues on their way to Europa, and this book ended in a way that could make way for a 3rd book, and I'd be happy to learn how the story continues! A 4 out of 5 star read.

As good if not better than the first book

I just could not put this book down. I read it on my breaks at work and ended up taking it home to read there too. Recommend this series for all with a passion for space travel.

disappointing end.

Great book that continues the awesome story from book 1, but such a disappointing end. Assuming of course that there is no book 3 coming, which I have searched for news of but seen nothing to indicate a 3rd book coming. With a 3rd book following this would be close to 5 stars.

Rushed

Unfortunately not a very satisfying ending. The book itself is ok, it’s a ok sequel to the first but it needed a bit more substance to be a good book. Again, I’d say this was just ok.
Regarding the performer, the lack of accents threw me a bit- hearing “ciao” and everything else that’s a foreign language with the same accent as everyone else was jarring. Not everyone can do a decent accent but it would have been a 5* performance with it.
