You are invited to accompany a crew of eight astronauts on their mission to the Jupiter ice-moon named Europa. Their mission is relatively straight forward, look for evidence of life in a vast ocean, which is trapped beneath a thick blanket of ice. There is one problem though... "The Curse!" Over the past 36 years, man has been trying to explore Europa. Every mission to date has ended in failure. Now in 2056, with a faster space craft, the Global Space Organization is trying one more mission. This fully manned mission will attempt to put humans on the surface to search for liquid water, and possibly life. Will this mission finally be the one to succeed, or will it end in failure as well... or worse? Follow Lt. Commander Patrick Turkovitch, Dr. Juliana Evans, and six other astronauts as they try to make history by being the first humans to set foot on the Jovian moon. Will they find life deep in the oceans of Europa, will they find romance, or will they find that the curse is for real? What are they willing to do to ensure their mission is a success?

After colliding with an unknown entity and thrown from the 'Stream' into Real Space, The Nebulous, largest and fastest ship of it’s kind, automatically sends out the ISP's, escape pods, life-capsules and the unmanned Nebulous Flyer before crashing onto the nearest planet. Less than half the crew survive. Within days the aliens, which caused the collision, pursue them, destroying the planet and consume most of it's inhabitants. Half human, half robotic machine, the children call them, Manboti. With their own ship destroyed, they want The Nebulous Flyer. Seven years on, the main central hub of the ship, now known as Home Ground, some of the ISP's, life capsules and The Nebulous Flyer are still hidden. Only one boy, John A. Blade, is genetically programmed to fly her home but the Manboti, who up until now thought the children of no use other than food are suddenly made aware of their importance to capturing The Nebulous Flyer. Ten children are all that’s left of the crew. With Ki implants, plus advanced equipment left by their parents or found in the city ruins, the children become their own doctors, mechanics and scientists. Developing antidotes for anything the Manboti can dish out. But there’s one thing they haven’t conquered, the Manboti’s ability to ‘hide’ inside humans. They look the same, until the time is right, then shred their human skin to impregnate others or consume their captives to gain knowledge. Nothing can be trusted, even creatures native to the planet have been robotised and appear impervious to the deadly Thorns, which mysteriously grow all around Home Ground. The story begins when Blade returns home after several months away searching for the hidden Nebulous Flyer. He is shocked at what he finds. Many things have changed. Home Ground has been attacked. Distrustful of those left he has to lead them back to the city where The Nebulous Flyer is hidden, knowing someone is Manboti…but who?
