The Enceladus Mission: Ice Moon 1

Written by Brandon Q. Morris

Narrated by Doug Tisdale Jr.

In the year 2031, a robot probe detects traces of biological activity on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. This sensational discovery shows that there is indeed evidence of extraterrestrial life. Fifteen years later, a hurriedly built spacecraft sets out on the long journey to the ringed planet and its moon. The international crew is not just facing a difficult twenty-seven months: if the spacecraft manages to make it to Enceladus without incident it must use a drillship to penetrate the kilometer-thick sheet of ice that entombs the moon. If life does indeed exist on Enceladus, it could only be at the bottom of the salty, ice covered ocean, which formed billions of years ago.

However, shortly after takeoff disaster strikes the mission, and the chances of the crew making it to Enceladus, let alone back home, look grim. From internationally best-selling hard science fiction author Brandon Q. Morris comes a new novel for hard science fiction enthusiasts. As a physicist and space specialist, Morris describes the journey of the international expedition through the hostile vacuum of space, using the latest scientific findings and technology trends as his inspiration. This isn't a 'What If' story, this is a 'When Will' story.

Reviews for The Enceladus Mission

[Dmitry Matlashevsky · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Seems to be written by an English learner or teacher. It doesn't sound like anyone I have talked to or worked with, I couldn't finish the book.

Not a bad story idea, but the whole thing's reads like it was written by a chat AI bot and it's slavish dedication to absolutely not using any contractions. The narrator has almost no inflection and reminds me of the guys Sheldon from Big bang theory. I finished the book out of spite

[Calvin Scott Drews · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's a great book if you understand the protagonist is autistic and the story is told from his perspective.

Basically this is the story of how an autistic programmer ended up being one of the first people to discover alien intelligence.
