Publisher's summary

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 reedited, revised, repackaged, and expanded, making this new edition of Beneath superior to all that came before.

As expected from JR, it was amazing!

It's a great story with good character development. I loved the unexpected twists and turns throughout the book. I can 100% recommend it, especially if you've already read/listened to other related books from Jeremy. This origin story gives you a good insight into things that may have been unclear in other storylines. This is a must listen!

Nice shift in perspective.

Loved the ending and the different perspective. Can't say much more without spoilers, but solid female characters in this one too.

Robinson Really Doesn't Miss!

I've read many of Jeremy's books and liked most of them. This one is no exception. The narration is great and the book reads much like a Michael Crichton novel, but with less science involved. If you like science, humor, and some action, then this book will be right up your alley. If you're already familiar with Robinson's work, then it's a no-brainer.

Beneath

Excellent just like all his other novels. Great characters and a fast paced storyline

Fantastic Audiobook

This story was like a rollercoaster. It started off a little slow but soon was shooting around corners and plunging at full speed. The narrator had just the right gravity in his voice for a thriller such as this.

Awesome book with a great ending

I first discovered Jerry Robinson, with his newer novels, were the aliens in this novel were already featured. So it was nice to listen to this novel. It’s a bit of a origin for the creatures to meeting humans because in the newer Jeremy Robinson novels there any new, who are the humans work, all thanks to this exchange.

An excellent origin story

I picked this up after listening to the entire Infinite timeline. Knowing nothing about the title I was surprised when a familiar entity shows up. That’s what kept me hooked throughout the story. The writing was ok. Definitely a book that was out before Jeremy hit his stride with entertaining dialog. I was concerned how he could tie up loose ends but by the ending, I was very satisfied with how it turns out. I’d definitely recommend this to any fane of the Infinite timeline by Robinson.

Great book

I was given a free code for this book for a non-biased review.

This book was great. Not one of JR’s best, those would be the infinite timeline and project nemesis books, but I thought it was still great and a must read.

Pretty good

Not in my top 5 of his works, but I liked it! Narration was great.

Awesome book!

This author is the gift that keeps on givin’! Hooks ya at the beginning and keeps ya all the way through!!
