But Grant does not share the ideals of the scientists he he has been planted on their expedition by the New Morality, a religious group that wants to ferret what the ‘godless humanists’ have discovered. His to reassure the new religious leaders of Earth that Jupiter holds no intelligent life.

He has come to the vast, planet-girdling ocean of Jupiter with an open mind, and he is about to tell his masters something that may shatter their conviction.
