Titan

by Stephen Baxter

In a last effort to make a foray into the outer reaches of Earth's solar system, a team of astronauts sets out for one of Saturn's moons on a space ship constructed from bits and pieces of space stations and shuttles. Once the team is far into space, the rest of humanity is extinguished when an asteroid hits Earth. Now, the small band of astronauts are the human race's only hope for survival.

Publisher Notes

Humankinds greatest--and last--adventure! Possible signs of organic life have been found on Titan, Saturns largest moon. A group of visionaries led by NASAs Paula Benacerraf plan a daring one-way mission that will cost them everything. Taking nearly a decade, the billion-mile voyage includes a "slingshot" transit of Venus, a catastrophic solar storm, and a constant struggle to keep the ship and crew functioning. But it is on the icy surface of Titan itself that the true adventure begins. In the orange methane slush the astronauts will discover the secret of life's origins and reach for a human destiny beyond their wildest dreams.

Media Reviews

"...Stephen Baxter proves what a cosmic thinker he is, and that his mastery of technical detail is only a tool for a thoughtful meditation about the nature of life itself, its origins, and where it must ultimately go, in the grand British tradition of H.G. Wells and Olaf Stapledon."
