  Adam and No Eve by Alfred Bester - The last living man on a world rendered utterly lifeless by all–consuming fire– how could he start life alone? 
  Alfred Bester (1913–1987) was an American science fiction writer, screenwriter, and editor, best known for his groundbreaking novels The Demolished Man (1953) and The Stars My Destination (1956). Born in New York City, Bester studied at the University of Pennsylvania and later worked as a writer for comics, radio, and television before making his mark in science fiction. 
  His career took off in the 1940s with short stories published in Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction. His writing was innovative, blending psychological depth, linguistic playfulness, and a breakneck narrative style. In 1953, The Demolished Man, a futuristic crime novel featuring telepathic detectives, won the first-ever Hugo Award for Best Novel. The Stars My Destination, a revenge-fueled space odyssey inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo, became a cult classic, often cited as a precursor to cyberpunk. 
  Bester’s work influenced writers like Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, and Roger Zelazny. His use of non-linear storytelling, inner monologues, and typography experimentation set him apart. Though he published sporadically after the 1950s, he remained a key figure in the genre.

  JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
  Book 5 of 6 - The Cry of Europa 
  This story is summarized as follows: 
  When Research Station Galileo falls silent on Jupiter’s moon Europa, Captain Minerva Voss and her crew discover a nightmare—the researchers driven mad or dead by contact with a crystalline substance from the subsurface ocean. Venturing below the ice, they encounter the Abyssal, an ancient aquatic civilization guarding a terrifying truth: Jupiter (Jove) is a sentient cosmic entity, bound by humanity’s forgotten ancestors. The Abyssal reveal humanity’s engineered origins and the Syndicate’s quest to weaponize this knowledge (Project Ixion). As Syndicate forces attack, Minerva uses her Sagittari medallion to erect a psychic barrier, protecting the Abyssal’s secrets. The survivors escape, but Minerva now bears the weight of cosmic revelation—Jove’s awakening is inevitable, and the Syndicate’s hunt for control has only begun. Europa’s cry echoes a warning: some truths are too vast for unprepared minds, and humanity’s past may dictate its survival.  
  This is the fifth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this fourth instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
  The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.  
  The story itself runs to about 30 plus minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
