Thank you.Three thousand years after a chunk of iron the size of Khufu's pyramid collides with Europa, Jupiter's sixth moon, an asteroid borne of the collision crashes into Earth's Arctic ice shelf carrying extraterrestrial microbial life. The first man to come into contact with the microbes hears voices-and then dies. After determining the meteorite originated from Europa, the Global Exploratory Corporation sends oceanographer and biologist, Kathy Connelly, and her crew to the moon aboard the Surveyor, an experimental spacecraft.
