While on a corporate research mission, deep under the oceanic outer crusts of Europa, a structure of bizarre design is discovered, its purposes unknown. But what starts as an excursion in scientific discovery quickly dissolves to the stuff of nightmares as something else quickly rises from the depths, something intent on consumption. A small group of survivors is forced to set differences aside as they enter into the race for their lives, trapped within the depths of a submerged facility, enclosed by the terrifying darkness of alien night. While they desperately flee upwards towards the surface and their only salvation, their inevitable end seeks to draw them back down into infinite darkness.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A suspense-laden ascent into madness.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020

    This is exactly the kind of science fiction I like. It’s lean, logical, action packed, and frightening. In fact, it reads a little bit like one of Tim Curran’s science fiction/horror stories. Loveland returns to themes here that he’s explored before, but he has a way of making everything feel fresh. It’s been fun to watch his descriptive powers evolve, too, and they’ve had to in order to accommodate some of the oddities in THE EUROPA ASCENT. He just keeps getting better.

    This isn’t the first time I’ve thought that Loveland’s fiction would translate well to the screen, either, but that’s really just another compliment to the writing. In some ways, a movie probably wouldn’t end up being as cinematic as THE EUROPA ASCENT already is. The book is so well envisioned and ably described that it really is a bit like watching a movie. Actually, it’s more like being IN a movie. An IMAX movie from which there is no escape.

    Look, just read it. You’ll see. Escape to Europa. Captain Loveland will be your pilot. No need to spring for a round-trip ticket. Chances are you won’t be coming back.

    Enough said.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly gritty science fiction
    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020

    This is a great read for an afternoon in lockdown. A great spin of sci-fi and horror, claustrophobic terror on an alien landscape. Loveland craftily weaves together a cast of characters and puts them to task against an enemy that is terrifying and compelling to behold over the course of this book. The legacies of names like Lovecraft, HG Wells, Ridley Scott, James Cameron and many others are safe in the hands of Patrick Loveland.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun short read

    This is a snappy little tale about monsters and the people they consume. It's pretty minimal - no unnecessary side trips, while still containing some interesting world building. Think of an homage to Alien (1979) with some Lovecraftian weirdness in the mix, and you'd have a good idea of this story. Left me wanting more. Enjoyable and recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Strange and Fantastic Sci-Fi Horror
    Reviewed in Germany on November 4, 2023

    That was a pretty thrilling read. I got this awhile ago, knowing I’d get around to it as a hopefully-quick read to “cleanse the palate” between weightier, longer books. Felt right to read it casually ramping up into spooky season. (I’d have read it faster if I weren’t so distracted and tired lately.) Pacing is pretty good and interesting the whole time. Fascinating and strange and tense throughout. Very clever world-building.
    My only real snag is the size of the text. Reading at night before sleep was trickier because of that.
    So I’m recommending this if you like fun sci-fi horror that feels a little familiar, but is also very unique and new.
