Terrific review of Ben Bova's Titan by Adam Roberts on Strange Horizons today yesterday.

Or, in fact, yesterday!

Beat me to it. But yeah-I especially liked the pull quote in the feed.

Wow. Good review, I'm astonished by how bad it sounds.

Is there potential for a poll - Campbell Award, or Eye of Argon?

"the thick listless wind slithered like an oily beast slowly awakening from a troubled sleep, moaning, lumbering across the frozen land"

"The weather beaten trail wound ahead into the dust racked climes of the baren land which dominates large portions of the Norgolian empire"

"The lumbering probe trundles about a Wikipedia entry on Titan."

Oh snap.

And sadly, until the alarming revelations of motivation, the probe was the most well-drawn character.

I enjoyed the Sam Gunn books when I was much much younger, but I suspect that I wouldn't enjoy them now for the same reason that I found I couldn't re-read the Hugh Waters books.
