Description

Into Jupiter 's hostile planetwide ocean was led an expedition by In Ben Bova's novel JUPITER, physicist Grant Archer, trying to examine the huge and uncommon animals that call the planet their house. Unprepared for the aggressive atmosphere and crushing demands, Grant's group faced certain death as their vessel malfunctioned and gradually sank to the earth's depths. Nevertheless among Jupiter's indigenous animals--a town-sized leviathan--stored the ruined vessel. This beastis act convinced Grant that the huge creatures were smart, but he lacked medical proof.Now, many years later, Grant makes a new journey to show once and for many that the huge creatures are intelligent. The new team faces hazards from both aggressive atmosphere and from humans who'll do something to ensure the mission is just a failure, even when it indicates killing the whole team.
