Four Moons…. Two Families…. And One War to Decide the Fate of Jupiter

Mark Jackson, the brilliant fusion engineer, is tasked to recapture Jupiter’s moon, Sinope. His foe is the sadistic heir to the Jovian Corporate Republic, and a man who hazed and tortured Mark in military school.

Mark’s parents, famous generals from the Martian Wars, settled the moon Europa and turned it into a profitable water mining territory. Now the JCR, rulers on Callisto and Ganymede, want them out—and taking the phosphorus mines on Sinope is the first step, after Mark’s father dies, leaving his mother as governor.

Mark has no trained troops, minimal weaponry, and an imposed rule not to kill except in self-defense. His foe conquered Sinope with trained troops, heavy weapons, and no rules against lethality. Yet, the fate of the Europan Territory, and the thousands of people living there, rests on his recapture of the lucrative Sinope mines.

If he fails, the JCR will extend its tyrannical grip on the people of Europa, and Mark can expect significant prison time, if he survives.

I only have 2 hours left listening to this book, but I just can't waste anymore time on it. I have been striking out on SciFi books lately, so I was really trying to finish this one. I really love books about space travel that are hard science fiction, but I seem to have exhausted all of the good ones! Anyway, the story here is really slow. I keep hoping something will happen, but I think this book is just to set up the next one. The narrator, Alexander Edward Trefethen, has a great voice, but at times he seems to be trying to speak too softly. It is putting me to sleep! I usually only write reviews when it's all positive, but wanted to save others from wasting their time on this.
