"This book was ok but not great. Lots of different shifts in terms of the power struggles that go on in the book. There are also lots of changes of perspective so you're never really sure what the whole purpose is -- until the end."
"Yet another great Grand Tour book - I love reading these, they just fly for me! Saturn and Titan should be read close together since they're basically one continuing story."
"I am a big fan of Ben Bova, and usually enjoy his hard science fiction. However, "Saturn" left me untouched. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, didn't think any new thoughts about nanotechnology or fear of the unknown or the science versus religion debate. It's all there, though."
"This novel had a number of interesting elements that, in the end, just did not click. The social construct felt a bit old hat. The science, however, was interesting and, at points, provacative. The plot concluded far too quickly and predictably. During the read, I was only uncertain as to the disposition of one character - and not one I cared for. Overall, this one falls a bit short. Certainly not as well done as Bova's Mars and Return to Mars."
