Synopsis

The history of humanity is about to change forever . . .

On 5 December 1945, five TBM Avenger bombers embarked on a training mission off the coast of Florida and mysteriously vanish without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle.

A PBY search and rescue plane with thirteen crewmen aboard sets out to find the Avengers . . . and never returns.

In 2168, a mysterious five-sided pyramid is discovered on the ocean floor of Jupiter's icy moon, Europa.

Commander Mac O'Bryant and her team of astronauts are among the first to enter the pyramid's central chamber. They find the body of a missing World War II pilot, whose hands clutch a journal detailing what happened to him after he and his crew were abducted by aliens and taken to a place with no recognizable stars. As the pyramid walls begin to collapse around Mac and her team, their names mysteriously appear within its pages and they find themselves lost in an alien world.

Stranded with no way home, Mac decides to retrace the pilot's steps. She never expects to find the man alive. And if the man has yet to die, what does that mean for her and the rest of her crew?

Goodreads review by Michael

I enjoyed Europa Journal. It is a fun mix of sci-fi, history and fantasy. It cleverly brings in the disappearance of Flight 19 as a hook and it works well as the story progresses.......more

Goodreads review by Megan

This was an entertaining read. It got a little preachy for my taste towards the end but I still enjoyed it. It was an interesting take on the ancient alien theory with some good old adventure thrown in.......more

Goodreads review by Liz

I had some preconceived notions about this story going in (mostly from the novel’s description), and almost all of them were wrong. This story had intriguing visualizations, characters, and action. There are times when the narrative jumped a bit, with action quickly shifting instead of being fleshed......more
