L’ambiente su Io, la luna di Giove, è estremamente ostile. Ci sono torrenti di lava bollente, mari di zolfo incandescenti e frequenti eruzioni vulcaniche che sembrano venire direttamente dall’Inferno di Dante, oltre al costante bombardamento di radiazioni e una temperatura superficiale di meno 180 gradi Celsius. Potrebbe davvero nascondersi su questo satellite una gran minaccia per l’intera umanità? Questo sembra essere il contenuto di un sorprendente messaggio inviato dalla creatura aliena scoperta su Encelado.

Nel 2005 la sonda robot "Huygens" atterra sulla luna di Saturno Titano. Quarant’anni dopo un radiotelescopio riceve dalla lontana luna dei segnali che possono provenire solo da quel lander dimenticato da tempo. Nello stesso momento una spedizione ritorna dalla vicina luna Encelado. Quando l’equipaggio atterra su Titano trova un pericoloso segreto che potrebbe mettere a rischio il loro ritorno sulla Terra. Nel frattempo su Encelado è iniziata una corsa mortale che nessuno pensava fosse possibile, e il suo esito potrà dipendere solamente dagli astronauti al momento bloccati su Titano.

Nell’anno 2031 una sonda robot rileva tracce di attività biologica su Encelado, una delle lune di Saturno. Questa scoperta sensazionale è una prova evidente di vita extraterrestre. Quindici anni dopo una navicella costruita in fretta e furia parte per il lungo viaggio verso il pianeta ad anelli e la sua luna. L’equipaggio internazionale non dovrà solamente affrontare ventisette mesi difficili: una volta raggiunto Encelado senza incidenti, dovrà salire a bordo di un altro veicolo per penetrare il chilometrico strato di ghiaccio che avvolge la luna.

There is a world. One of endless night, surrounded by an even deeper darkness. Filled with nightmares come to life, twisted shapes that slink to windows and ease open doors, sliding across floors to look down on helpless faces. There is another world. A bright world, so bright it burns. Filled with stacked stones that call forth miracles, raised by callused hands that tremble in their work, drained with each stone lifted, settled, lifted again.

The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?
