Later, second printing. Octavo, jacket illustration by Alex Schomburg, cloth. A hundred years after the members of the first expedition to the dreaded planet Saturn vanished one by one, the second expedition's spaceship lands on its moon Titan. "Subsequently, the crew is exposed to a series of terrifying incidents, and members disappear. Gradually, it becomes apparent that Saturn is inhabited, and both the Saturnians, an old civilized race, and the descendants of Captain Dearborn, first explorer of Saturn who disappeared mysteriously, do not want any interlopers. The crew, however, is set free as the Saturnians decide rapprochement is inevitable. Suspenseful, well-written mystery for two-thirds of the book; then speculation about the possibility of life on Saturn intrudes." - Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 5-90.
