On the Shores of Titan's Farthest Sea A Scientific Novel [Paperback]

Titan is practically a planet in its own right, with a diameter similar to that of Mercury, methane rainstorms, organic soot and ethane seas. All of the most detailed knowledge on the moon's geology, volcanology, meteorology, marine sciences and chemistry are gathered together here to paint a factually accurate hypothetical future of early human colonization on this strange world.

The views from Titans Mayda Outpost are spectacular, but all is not well at the moon's remote science base. On the shore of a methane sea beneath glowering skies, atmospherics researcher Abigail Marco finds herself in the middle of murder, piracy and colleagues who seem to be seeing sea monsters and dead people from the past. On the Shores of Titans Farthest Sea provides thrills, excitement and mystery  couched in the latest science  on one of the Solar Systems most bizarre worlds, Saturns huge moon Titan.

This riveting story, set against a plausibly well integrated interplanetary space, carries us along with its bright and interesting characters. We feel absolutely transported to a hauntingly beautiful and alien Titan through Carroll's masterful weaving of art and science.  Jani Radebaugh, Professor of Planetary Sciences, Titan dune expert, BYU

It's a fun read! Really makes Titan come alive, literally...  Astrophysicist and author Ralph Lorenz

Michael Carroll's new novel On the Shores of Titan's Farthest Sea (Springer) is a gripping, good-vs-evil tale that sparkles with imagination. It's set on the shores of Kraken Mare, the vast methane sea found high in the northern latitudes of Saturn's moon, Titan, in a future when humanity has spread throughout the solar system. The villains are wicked, the heroes are scientists (Thanks, Mike!), the story is convincing, the dialogue snappy, and the scenery is rightlƒ2
