Fiction Reviews Titan The vast O'Neil space habitat, Goddard , that holds some ten thousand 'crew', is in orbit about Saturn. It is a Babylon V type structure. Aside from seeking commercial opportunities, it is there to send a very sophisticated probe down on to Titan's surface. All goes well until shortly after the probe lands when contact is lost. Meanwhile on the Goddard minor faults start occurring and should these continue, or worse become more serious, then the lives of all onboard could become threatened. If all this were not bad enough, many of those on the Goddard want change so as to have families as well as have concerns that their activities in the Saturn system may affect possible emerging life. An election is in the air... Ben Bova has once more carved a hard SF space opera that will undoubtedly be a treat for his regular readers and stir 'high frontier' types who are into developing space-located industries. Titan itself is an example of recursive SF being, in essence, a re-working of Arthur C. Clarke's and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (as opposed to the Clarke short story that inspired that film). We have an exploratory human crew (tens of thousands as opposed to two plus those hibernating) in orbit around a gas giant (Saturn and not Jupiter), looking forward to a possible encounter with alien life (primitive biologicals and not a super star-faring civilization), and a computer mind in the mix (an advanced probe and not the ship's AI).

SA Years of the greenhouse effect have created ever more extreme floods and hurricanes, displacing and killing millions of people. There are two men, leaders in the space industry and residents of the Moon community, who can most immediately affect the outcome of everything on Earth. One is Dan Randolph of Astro Manufacturing, who wants to use an experimental fusion engine to mine the Asteroid Belt for much-needed resources and provide a cleaner energy alternative to fossil fuels. The other is Martin Humphries of Humphries Space Systems, who sees every disaster as an opportunity to make sales. With personnel and funds strained by the daily catastrophes, they must pool their resources to succeed despite their opposing goals of saving humanity versus building a monopoly.

Plundering The Abyss An Interview with Alastair Reynolds conducted by Sandy Auden Alastair Reynolds Alastair Reynolds was born in 1966 in Barry, South Wales. He spent his early years in Cornwall, moved back to Wales and on to university in Newcastle, doing Physics and Astronomy. Then it was on to a PhD in St Andrews, Scotland. In 1991, he moved to Holland, where he met his partner Josette, and worked as ESA Research Fellow before his post-doctoral work at Utrecht University. At present he works at ESA as a contractor. Alastair Reynolds Website ISFDB Bibliography SF Site Review: Century Rain ... Revelation Space He may be a new kid on the SF block, but Alastair Reynolds has made a name for himself in a very short time. His debut novel, Revelation Space , sent impressive ripples through the SF community and his second book, Chasm City , won the British Science Fiction Association Best Novel Award. Set in the same universe as Revelation Space , his second book had its roots sunk in some very unusual places. 'For Chasm City , I wanted to move away from a story that was based on the life and death of civilisations and the end of life as we know it.'
