Quincy 2116 is the first science fiction novel that I've read in many years and it reminded me of how good this genre can be.  It tells the story of the Orion spaceship and its engineered crew as they head to Saturn's moon, Titan, in order to colonize it.  But Titan holds a few surprises for Captain Kira and her crew and they learn that carrying out their mission means the end of Titan's current inhabitants.  The crew is faced with a tough decision as they learn the alien's plans for Earth.Meanwhile, back on Earth, the director of the project has his own agenda and when it's discovered that the crew is not where they're supposed to be, a mad scramble ensues to determine what exactly is going on.The only `problem' I had with this book is that it begins in the relatively near future.  If you can buy the idea of a ship with technology far beyond anything available today staffed by an engineered crew heading out in 2018 on a 7 year mission to Titan, then you should enjoy this book.
