Sense of wonder abounds in this story of undersea exploration on Europa.
We join a scientist and his team of dolphins who were sent to the Jovian moon to track down an elusive life form. The story is set in and around an operational science station under the ice. The setting feels plausible with the outside cold and pressure threatening everything.
To me, the best qualities of hard science fiction is how it takes known science and technology to the next logical step. There is nothing in this story that you can't already see right now; best of all the author took exoskeleton technology in a new and exciting direction.
It was a well realized story that I enjoyed very much.
