Commander Charles Kwetche, hours before his honeymoon, is given command of the elderly NASA frigate, Cabot, and given a mission to proceed to the Jovian System to search for the missing European cruiser, Onbevreesd. In the weeks following his arrival, Kwetche uncovers clues that lead him to a horrific conclusion - the European ship was attacked and destroyed and a rogue United Nations cruiser is the suspect. The mystery deepens when a puzzling signal to Earth is uncovered and a corporation's biological expedition beneath the ice of Europa gains new attention.
