There is possibly alien construction on Iapetus. This book describes the initial voyage out to find out the truth. But the ship has a stowaway - a radical terrorist who is planning to destroy the mission. Will the crew find him? Will they make it to Iapetus?While the book starts describing a mission to Iapetus - a place where there could be alien construction - it quickly takes the whole hard science approach to a new level. The book was well written. A little dry at first, but quickly you gotIs Iapetus, one of Saturns moons, an artifact, a derelict starship or just a moon? In his Foreword, the author says he was motivated by certain geographical features, such as a twenty km high and wide equatorial ridge to research Iapetus and write this hard science fiction novel which contains a lot of meticulously researched science. Yes, it does, and the result is what readers often find in the best hard science fiction: a story presented so convincingly and well that it blurs the line between
While Sci-Fi isnt my go-to genre, I thoroughly enjoyed Williscrofts The Starchild Trilogy Book 2. I havent yet read the first story in the series, but even so, I didnt feel like I had missed anything by starting with book 2. The Starchild Compact: A Novel of Interplanetary Exploration is an engrossing, intriguing, and well-written story.

The Starchild Compact is a hard Science Fiction book definitely worth reading! It raises many interesting questions and its plot is definitely not readily apparent. I doubt anyone will anticipate the ending.I have been a lover of science fiction for many years and I would place this book in the top 10% of the thousands of SciFi books I've read over the years.The plot is ingeniously contrived and while the book is not perfect, it is very close to it. I found one minor typo a spell check would not
I became a little bogged down by the detail and intensity of the technology, but loved the comparisons of religious, culture, and politics balanced with the ship's mission to see if the moon is organic or artifact.This story is a great look at what if might mean if we could prove whether or not Earth and its inhabitants are not alone in this great universe. I did find the stowaway a little too much like Dr. Smith in Lost in Space. I didn't see the need for this character but felt as though he
The universe is filled with cosmic oddities, and some of these are right in our own celestial backyard. For example, consider the moons of Saturn. Titan has a landscape composed of heavy hydrocarbons, where it rains liquid methane. The third largest moon orbiting this gas giant, named Iapetus, appears to be a standard rocky orb, but has a peculiarly regular belt of 20-kilometer-high mountains girdling its equator. Additionally, the surface is marked by a pattern of regular hexagons, some of
