Most people think that antimatter exists only in small, short-lived quantities within controlled laboratory environments. However, unknown to Earth's scientists, an undiscovered moon orbiting Jupiter and its inhabitants are entirely made of antimatter. But when a stray fragment of debris from a NASA space probe accidentally crashes onto that moon's surface, the catastrophic interaction between matter and antimatter triggers a devastating explosion. In Jupiter's Shadow tells the story of the aftermath of that disastrous event. On a day that she will never forget, Dr. Janita Howard, a brilliant radio telescope expert, receives a shocking message from that antimatter moon's inhabitants, communicating their outrage and fear. Dr. Howard embarks on a mission to convince a skeptical world of her startling discovery. She struggles to navigate an unrelenting onslaught of Earth's close-minded bureaucrats, scientific dissidents, conspiracy theorists, saboteurs, and debilitating self-doubt. With brains, humor, and the help of undaunted partners - both human and extraterrestrial - Jan Howard finds a way to overcome these challenges to facilitate an epic new era of interstellar diplomacy.
