Saturn's Run

John Sandford and Ctein

The ultimate space race. An overlooked grad student in a Caltech astronomy program inadvertently discovers some strange data around Saturn. Something has just entered the solar system, slowed down and stopped. Fire up the planetary race to Saturn. What is it (clearly alien) and how can it be used to solidify my political power on earth. This is a fascinating story of pure science fiction, layered on top of the political ministrations of governments seeking a competitive edge, balanced by the scientists who are actually in the field (i.e. at Saturn) making decisions based on science and not on political goals. One of the best books I have read this summer.
