Titan is another excellent science fiction novel in Ben Bova’s Grand Tour series. Goddard, a permanent space habitat containing 10,000 people from Earth, is in orbit around Saturn in the years 2095-2096. The unethical Chief Administrator of Goddard is planning to extract the water from the rings of Saturn to sell it to other earth space colonies, which would make the population of the habitat very wealthy. However, the scientists in the habitat are concerned that the mining operations will harm the living organisms that may live in the rings. In addition, a robotic science probe/lab on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has gone rogue and severed communication with the scientists in the habitat. There is also a political struggle within the habitat to replace the Chief Administrator and end the Zero Population Growth policy to make it possible for women to have children. I found this to be a very engaging novel that meets all the expectations of a definitive work of science fiction. The science is totally plausible, there is plenty of it, and it is presented within a very interesting and entertaining storyline. However, the reader does not need extensive scientific knowledge to enjoy the book. In addition, Bova provides and very interesting group of many appealing and some unsavory characters who support, love, argue, clash, conspire, and/or are deceptive with each other while attempting to enhance their own lives while influencing the sociopolitical environment of the habitat. Bova also provides compelling, life-or-death, outer-space action in the rings of Saturn and on the surface of Titan that certainly made this reader anxious. Of course, Titan is also very well written by one of the great science fiction writers of our time. It was first published in 2006 and it won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best novel of the year in 2007. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction or anyone who wants to sample some.
