Synopsis

Ice mining in space, aliens within our solar system, colonization of extraterrestrial moons, war between interplanetary corporations, and time travelers bent on destruction... NASA’s Cassini Missions have captured stunning images of Saturn, its mesmerizing Rings of ice and rock, and its 53 officially named moons. These twelve authors present their visions of the Saturn System’s promise, as rich and diverse as the reality of Saturn, its Rings, and moons. • In the depths of an ice mine on Dione, embattled troopers combat alien amoeba in the frigid tunnels. • Wry humor combines with eccentricity in a tale of time traveling disaster. • Enemies team up to complete a mission, in an intense tale of revenge. • Security teams from opposing corporations, battle for possession of lunar mining operations. The Visions Series tells of our urge to venture outward and to explore the Universe. Visions: Leaving Earth, describes our first faltering steps to rise from Earth’s surface. Visions II: Moons of Saturn confirms that we have left the Earth and are at home in our solar system. Visions III: Inside the Kuiper Belt proclaims humankind’s domination from the Sun to the outermost reaches of the Kuiper Belt. Beyond these volumes, we will explore outside our solar system: Deep Space and the Near Stars, Colonizing the Milky Way, and Understanding the Universe. Our vision is limitless.
