Europa
Strain
A plume rises from Europa and becomes the first evidence of a living response hidden beneath alien ice. As Europa Clipper closes in, scientists and governments struggle to understand a form of intelligence that may exist as environment, chemistry, and distributed function rather than as a speaker or machine.
When the Europagrades reach Earth, contamination and communication become impossible to separate. The first book follows the discovery, the category errors, and the military misread that will trigger Earthshift.
