Jupiter Rising - The Celestial...

Christopher Allen

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!
