The Battle for Europa

De: David Donaghe

Narrado por: Zak Jordan

The Battle for Europa is a tale of revolution in the 23rd century. Earth and colonies in the solar system are ruled by The Council of Economic Unions on Earth. The council rules with an iron fist. When Shawn Gallagher, an ice miner on Europa, launches a miner's strike, it is a ruse for rebellion. The ice on the surface of Europa will turn red with blood in The Battle for Europa. When Shawn Gallagher, second shift lead man at mining site A on Europa, launches his bid for independence, little does he know that it will pit him against his little brother David, a Fleet Marine in the Federal Defense Forces. When Cyrus Bonelli, President of the Council of Economic Unions on Earth, hears of the rebellion on Europa, he sends the federal main battle fleet to stop the rebellion. With rebels on Mars wrecking havoc, and the new deep space fleet heading out of the solar system to explore the galaxy, this rebellion on Europa couldn't have come at a worse time, but Cyrus has little choice. The federal fleet needs the Helium-3, and the colonies on Earth's moon as well as the colonies on Mars need the water ice that they mine on Europa, so Cyrus launches an attack, later known as The Battle for Europa.

The battle for freedom begins

Received as an audio review copy from the author, this is an honest review. This amazing and beautifully realistic story is narrated by Ask Jordan, brings to life the relevant struggle between personal freedoms and the rule of law... as seen through the eyes of the brothers Shawn and David, as they stand on opposite sides of this broiling conflict. As Shawn along with other valiant miners upon Europa launch a strike turned revolution to bring back a desperate freedom not since seen within The Council of Economic Union... and they're willing to die for the cause. On the others side, and David his friends are swept into the Union's military forces with superiors wondering can David Gallagher uphold Union ideals even if he must kill his own brother in the process. A fun, witty and intense adventure with a story that's many shades of gray. Highly recommended.
