Ben Bova Published Jupiter In 2000. The Storyline Involves Huge Aliens Swimming In Its Depths, That He

Ben Bova published Jupiter in 2000. The storyline involves huge aliens swimming in its depths, that he termed leviathans, with a follow-up book titled Leviathans of Jupiter. If you'd like to read what a scifi master thinks of our solar system, try his Grand Tour series.

It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.
