Ben Bova really needs to work on the characterization of his female characters. To be fair, at least they exist in this book and are more or less real characters, whereas the two female characters in Bova's Mercury were tokens to be sought by the male characters. Beyond that, I enjoyed this novel but did not find it nearly as compelling as Mercury, which was the first Grand Tour book I've ever read and the first Bova book I read since "End of Exile." I think I'm sort of walking into a series halfway through. The Grand Tour series has various sagas within it, and this Saturn one is in progress as of this book, so maybe that contributed to the unsatisfying feeling I got reading it. Even so, I enjoyed it somewhat.
