Description: Praise for the novels in Ben Bova's epic science fiction saga, "The Grand Tour": "Ben Bova continues his epic of solar system exploration by taking refugees from Earth's formidable fundamentalist theocracies on the long voyage to Saturn. The pacing is brisk, and--now that Arthur C. Clarke has retired and Charles Sheffield has departed--Bova is definitely the man to do justice to the astronomical marvels of the Saturnian system with its enormous potential as a second home for humanity, especially in the complex environments of its moons. Loud, prolonged applause, then, for the strengths of this book." --BooklistonSaturn "Bova proves himself equal to the task of showing how adversity can temper character in unforeseen ways." --The New York TimesonVenus "Ben Bova's latest near-future SF thriller supplies a suspenseful ride and plenty of high-tech hardware as it builds to a climactic confrontation over Washington, D.C." --Publishers WeeklyonPowersat
