tome15's review against another edition
3.0
Douglas, Ian. Europa Strike. Heritage Trilogy No. 3. Harper Voyager, 2000.
In the earlier novels in the Heritage Trilogy, we found evidence of alien life that was destroyed by other aliens on the Moon and Mars. Now we have sent a probe to Arcturus and are listening for aliens on Europa. But China wants the franchise on alien tech, so trouble is brewing between the U.S. Marines and the Chinese army all over the solar system. The story has a nice twist on Fermi’s paradox and some neat near-future space war tech, but it’s a war story we have seen many times in the movies World War II. 3 stars.
