A team of Earth scientists investigate mysterious ancient machines discovered on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon.

I've been on a Ben Bova splurge lately. I've always known about him, but only recently started reading his stuff. This early stuff isn't as good as he later stuff, but I'm still enjoying it.

I just like how is writing is matter-of-fact and flows so well. Great writer.
