In Ben Bova's novel JUPITER, physicist Grant Archer led an expedition
into Jupiter's hostile planetwide ocean, attempting to study the unusual
and massive creatures that call the planet their home. Unprepared for
the hostile environment and crushing pressures, Grant's team faced certain
death as their ship malfunctioned and slowly sank to the planet's depths.
However one of Jupiter's native creatures--a city-sized leviathan--saved
the doomed ship. This creature's act convinced Grant that the huge creatures
were intelligent, but he lacked scientific proof. Now, several years later,
Grant prepares a new expedition to prove once and for all that the huge
creatures are intelligent. The new team faces dangers from both the hostile
environment and from humans who will do anything to make sure the mission
is a failure, even if it means murdering the entire crew.
