Beneath

A Novel

De: Jeremy Robinson

Narrado por: Jeffrey Kafer

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!

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.

I swear I've heard this before

Missed the mark on several technical aspects that were hard for me to overlook as they were serious key points and sadly they would have been simple enough to write around. Cranking an engine that roars in no atmosphere, water that remains liquid and doesn't immediately sublimate, to name a few. Also I have listed to alot of J.R.s books and for some reason I "remember" certain details of the his story though I've never listed to this story before. The description of the europhids and their abilities being one such. Anyway, this could have been better with a little more research or what I would call "qualified BS".

Another hit.

Man is going to the moon again....wait...they are going to a moon, not THE moon. This time around they are headed for one of the moons of Jupiter in search of life. And you know know what? They find it. And in typical Jeremy Robinson fashion it's no easy mission. No spoilers, but also typical of any Robinson novel we have an excellent cast of characters, a uttering gripping storyline, and some wild action. Note the events of this book end up showing up again some of Jeremy's later novels, not that you'd need to have read this one to enjoy those later novels, but I will say I love how so many of Jeremy's novels take place in a shared universe. The book is narrated by Jeffrey Kafer who as always does a spectacular job bringing the story to life.

Decent listen

Not one of my favorite JR books. But still worth a listen. Narrator does a good job, but if you are expecting the fantastic RCBray/Robinson duo, this isn’t it. Still a fun space read

Love the book … but ??

Great story all the way until the end ./.. felt like he didn’t know how to end the book and just threw the ending on … nothing is more disappointing than a great story that you cannot put down and then the end is blahhhhh
