Science Fiction Books
--the first novel in the Quelly Clary series
A dangerous alien artifact, a mysterious message from the stars, a shadowy cabal, and one young geologist who can figure it all out--if she can overcome betrayal and learn to trust the rich and arrogant "Barn" McAdams.
The Kilns of Jupiter is an old-fashioned science fiction adventure set a couple hundred years in the future when giant ships regularly loop between Earth and Jupiter, carrying tourists, businesspeople, and a few assassins. Twenty-one-year-old Quelly Clary really wants to trust people, but life hasn't made that easy. When she heads to Jupiter to investigate an attempt on her life, she finds more than she imagined—including an ancient power buried in volcanic ice on the moons of Jupiter that promises to change forever humanity's place in the universe. Quelly's expertise in geology may be Earth's best hope to survive that power. But, can she learn to trust the rich and arrogant "Barn" McAdams and the rest of her team soon enough to save the world? Saving the world may require just that as well as all of Quelly’s exceptional skills in scientific deduction.
