2168 AD: A mysterious five-sided pyramid is discovered on the ocean floor of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa.
Commander Mac O’Bryant and her team are among the first to enter the pyramid’s central chamber. Inside, they find the body of a missing World War II pilot, whose hands clutch a journal detailing what happened to him and his crew after being abducted by aliens.
As the pyramid walls begin to collapse around Mac and her team, their names mysteriously appear within the journal and they find themselves lost on an alien world.
Stranded with no way home, Mac decides to retrace the pilot’s steps. She never expects to find the man alive… but if the man is not yet dead, what would that mean for Mac and the rest of her crew?

This book was very slow starting with unoriginal action and a hackney plot. It seemed to be aimed at young adults. That said it was ok if you have nothing else to read.
While this wasn’t distinctly Christian, it definitely had that theme running through it.
Cartoon characters, cliché dialogue and even fart humor. I’m sure this is a wonderful book if you’re a fifth grader; everyone else should take a pass. I did make it all the way to the end and was not rewarded for my efforts.
Did not the book at all. Too much unreasonale fanasy
A good escapist SF read –military shaded, a bit wacky with the main anti-hero, but good enough that I might read it again someday.
