NASA’s Cassini probe will reach Titan in 2004: Titan is the amazing story of a visionary’s response to the discovery of life on Saturn’s moon. Another BIG space novel from the acclaimed successor to Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein: the conquest of space as it could still happen.
Titan is the epic saga of one woman’s will to succeed and the triumph of a dream over bureaucracy and fear. Paula Benacerraf, grandmother and astronaut, is appointed to oversee the dismantling of the Shuttle fleet after another Challenger-type disaster. Instead, she listens to the oddball JPL scientist Rosenberg, who is determined to explore the ammonia-based life Cassini discovers on Titan.
Using NASA’s rusting Saturn rockets, mothballed Apollos and remaining Shuttles, frail humans are hurled, in the face of violent opposition from the military, to the edge of the Solar System. To the edge, also, of sanity.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st American Edition; 1st Printing. SIGNED EDITION. This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Fine dust jacket. The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. There is some beginning bumping to the bottom spine end of the book cover. The text pages are mostly clean and bright, but do have toning, especially to the edges due to the acid content of the paper. This copy has been signed on the title page by Baxter in blue ink. The dust jacket is crisp and clean. "The dream begins with a disaster. Given the task of dismantling NASA's aging shuttle program, after a horrifying re-entry crash, Paula Benacerraf comes up with a bold plan to keep America in space using existing technology." "Another category, outside of the main body of Baxter's independent work, is sequels and installments of science-fiction classics. His first novel to achieve wide recognition (winning three literary awards) was The Time Ships, an authorised sequel to H. G. Wells' The Time Machine. The Time Odyssey series, a trilogy co-authored with Arthur C. Clarke, is connected to Clarke's four Space Odyssey novels. Another novel is based on a synopsis written by Clarke, The Light of Other Days. Baxter has also published a Doctor Who novel, The Wheel of Ice. In 2010, Baxter began working on a new series with Terry Pratchett. This collaboration has produced five books, The Long Earth, The Long War, The Long Mars, The Long Utopia and The Long Cosmos. BAxter has also written non-fiction essays and columns for such publications as Critical Wave and the British SF Association's Matrix." ; Signed by Author. Codice articolo A33734
