Page 30
In a country long since abandoned to its own devices, Inspector Layton Trent is investigating the massacre of fifteen people when an event occurs in Jupiter space.
The sparsely populated moon, Io, is destroyed in a terrorist attack. Hundreds are dead in the cataclysmic explosion. Thousands become refugees as the shattered remnants of the moon threaten the Jupiter Alliance. Billions throughout the Solar System are wondering, Where next?
Those responsible must be found and brought to justice. The explorer ship, Erebus, is reassigned from its mission and sent to Jupiter to investigate this atrocity with Trent’s international team onboard.
Their enemy is lethal, elusive, with access to vast resources and advanced technology. So begins a hunt across space and time that will take Trent from the burning deserts of Africa to the cosmopolitan space cities of the Jupiter Alliance. From the heart of civilization to the very frontiers of human space and far beyond.
And what Trent discovers, amongst the relics of the alien Sleeping Gods, will change humanity’s place in the universe forever.
Erebus: A Sleeping Gods novel from the author of the Amazon best-seller, Endeavour.

The captain’s hot key (I’m assuming speed dial?) on Kendricks’s phone broadcasts over the bridge speakers? That seems weird that Kendricks would have the direct ability to broadcast over the bridge speakers instead of just calling a direct line to the captain.
If they were watching the events on the CCTV, why did they wait until after Kendricks announced “terrorists” considering that the attack had been going on for probably a minute or so by this point already? I would have expected the captain to already be calling for backup or other security measures.
