I’ve never heard of this series. Sounds very cool. No pun intended.

I am just a few chapters in. The theme song from Gilligan's Island keeps running through my head.

LOL
I’m starting my reread. Chapter 1 is mostly catching you up on what has gone before, so if you read it carefully and don’t drown with too many names thrown at you, the book should make enough sense even if you haven’t read any of the previous books. Of course it has a lot of spoilers for the previous two books.
You are on a deserted planet and need to get away from your coworkers for awhile. Where do you go? The Vacation Hotel Europa!

I just got to the portion of this book that Skyspark (this month's Limited Pick) addresses from a different point of view.

I’m on chapter 41, which is right about that same spot.
Here is a good quote that isn't a spoiler:"I am the actual captain of a spaceship! Even if my spaceship is on the ground at the moment. That gives me more geek cred than all of you... combined!"
…
"Far be it from me to compete in your geek wars," Helen said, a smile in her voice as well, "but I'd point out that a super-spy who helped fight the first interplanetary ship-to-ship battle probably outranks you, too."

Finished! I really enjoyed this book and the two previous ones. There seemed to be way too many close calls and coincidences, but overall I was able to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the ride.

I looked at the next book synopsis and a few reviews. it is apparently more YA, Swiss Family Robinson-type, with a completely different cast of characters. I might see if my library has it at some point in the future. I have lots of other books waiting for my attention.
Official description:
The sequel to Threshold, Book Three in the Boundary series.
HELL FROZEN OVER
Madeline Fathom had miraculously landed the crippled Nebula Storm on Europa. She joined on that frozen moon of Jupiter the stranded crewmembers of the ill-fated EU vessel Odin. The Nebula Storm's reactor was ruined in the landing, the Odin’s shuttle can’t make the trip back home, and the only vessel that could have make the journey to save them has just been destroyed by a renegade crewman, bad luck, and the remorseless forces of nature.
But Madeline, Helen Sutter, A.J. Baker and the team have one card left to play. All they have to do... is survive lethal radiation, vacuum, and ice as hard as steel while they figure out how to make Nebula Storm fly again.
But even as they prepare to make the journey home, Europa has one more discovery waiting for them... a discovery that might be the deadliest trap in the Solar System!
