Synopsis
Second in size only to Jupiter, bigger than a thousand Earths but light enough to float in water, home of crushing gravity and delicate, seemingly impossible rings, it dazzles and attracts us: SATURN Earth groans under the thumb of fundamentalist political regimes. Crisis after crisis has given authoritarians the upper hand. Freedom and opportunity exist in space, for those with the nerve and skill to run the risks.Now the governments of Earth are encouraging many of their most incorrigible dissidents to join a great ark on a one-way expedition, twice Jupiter's distance from the Sun, to Saturn, the ringed planet that baffled Galileo and has fascinated astronomers ever since.But humans will be human, on Earth or in the heavens-so amidst the idealism permeating Space Habitat Goddard are many individuals with long-term schemes, each awaiting the tight moment. And hidden from them is the greatest secret of all, the real purpose of this expedition, known to only a few... .

  • Want to go to Jupiter?

    Ever wonder what would happen if 10,000 people are shipped off to Jupiter on a HUGE ship. Wonder no more! This is a very good book that covers the politcal and personal events that could happen. Bova weaves a tale that flows like a river, not trying to get too involved in the technical challenges of the voyage. He focuses more on the struggle for power before they reach Jupiter...I give it Two Thumbs Up!!
