What do you think?
And here's the first review:
Saturn Returns by Sean Williams, Ace, 5/07, $7.99, ISBN 0-441-01493-3
"When I first started reading science fiction, I was particularly fond of the grand tour novel, stories where the protagonist travels through a series of strange worlds. Andre Norton's Galactic Derelict, Gordon R. Dickson's Mission to Universe, Murray Leinster's Colonial Survey all caught my imagination. Necessarily the visits were brief, tantalizing, leaving ample room for my imagination to fill in the gaps. Nowadays authors are expected to fill in a lot more of the detail, and while that makes their imaginary worlds more believable, it is less likely to stimulate my sense of wonder. Sean Williams threads a path between the two extremes in his latest, the story of a man who is reassembled after his death, and who sets out on a voyage of discovery to learn the truth about his past, and what led to his violent, though temporary, demise. This appears to be the first in a promising new series from one of the few writers still producing consistently excellent space opera.:
From Science Fiction Reviews.
I am excited!
