It was hard enough for Naomi to leave Leo, a fellow Final Six contestant, behind on a dying Earth. Now she doesn't know who to trust as she embarks on a mission to discover if Europa is habitable for humans.
The International Space Training Camp dodges every question about its past failed mission, and Naomi is suspicious that not everything is as it seems on her own mission to Europa. With just one shot at Jupiter's moon, Naomi is determined to find out if there is dangerous alien life on Europa before she and her crew get there.
Leo, back on Earth, has been working with renegade scientist Dr. Greta Wagner, who promises to fly him to space where he can dock with Naomi's ship. And if Wagner's hypothesis is right, it isn't a possibility of coming in contact with extraterrestrial life on Europa—it's a definite, and it's up to Leo to find and warn Naomi and the crew.
Everything gets more dangerous the closer that the mission gets to Europa, and all questions the ISTC has been avoiding get answered in a terrifying way.
If the dream was to establish a colony for humans on Europa . . . the Final Six are about to enter a nightmare.

This sequel to The Final Six (2018) raises the stakes for its spacefaring teen astronauts. Naomi Ardalan and the other Final Six are on their journey to colonize Jupiter's moon Europa, leading the way for humans to eventually leave a dying Earth. Naomi is the only one in the group who knows that the leaders of the International Space Training Camp are keeping the truth from them, and it is down to her to discover whether there is alien life on Europa before they land. Back on Earth, and unbeknownst to the crew, left-behind recruit Leo Danieli works with genius doctor Greta Wagner to launch a solo mission to intercept and join Naomi's ship in order to bring them news that not only is there definitely life on Europa, but they are set to land in its most dangerous zone. As the two missions and alternating narratives converge, the unthinkable happens--and everything changes. Fast-paced and plot-driven, the novel decidedly veers into science fiction horror territory with plenty of scares that readers willing to suspend disbelief and embrace the teenagers-in-space setup are likely to enjoy. The syrupy romance between Leo and Naomi continues, and a new layer is added to the story with a frustratingly too-brief examination of colonization and first contact. Naomi is Iranian American, Leo is Italian, and the human cast is international. Breezy, silly, unremarkable fun. (Science fiction horror. 14-17)COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
