The Hesperian Dilemma : Colin Waterman
The year is 2134. Two geopolitical groups on Earth are on the verge of war— the Hesperian Federation in the west and the Khitan Empire in the east. The Federation has set up a military base on Europa, the second closest moon of Jupiter. Underneath Europa’s surface of ice, there is an ocean of salt water which is 100 km deep.
Maura O’Hara is an oceanologist who specialises in extremophile life-forms which ingest sulphur compounds as a source of energy. She discovers intelligent aliens, known as the ‘Thiosh’, which live close to hydrothermal vents in the Europan Ocean. They communicate by telepathy and, although their manipulative skills are limited, they use machines which they control by telekinesis. The Hesperian military want to destroy the Thiosh which they fear will prevent them using the moon as a base for nuclear submarines.
Maura teams up with Geoff, a specialist in Artificial Intelligence. Together they strive to save the aliens from extermination—a mission which threatens to tear apart both their relationship and their home planet.

Deadly Provenance : Lynne Kennedy
Still Life: Vase with Oleanders is a painting by Vincent van Gogh, believed to have been confiscated by the Nazis during the Second World War. Today, almost seventy years later, world-renowned digital photographer, Maggie Thornhill is searching for the missing work of art.

The photograph in question was passed down to Ingrid by her grandfather, Klaus Rettke a key member of the German Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg, the Nazi organization appointed to confiscate art from the Jews. Obscure references in Klaus Rettke’s diary convince Maggie that Rettke stole the painting from the Nazis. Now she must use science to verify that the painting in the photo is genuine, something that has never been done before.
From the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. to the Musée du Jeu de Paume in Paris, Maggie searches for answers. Finally, she confronts the possibility that there is not one painting, but the original and several forgeries. With tens of millions of dollars at stake and a killer at large, she is determined to find the authentic Van Gogh. To do so, Maggie must stay alive . . . something that’s proving difficult to do.
