– This is that type of novel I wished to be longer, I wanted the plot to go on and on, as I found it so fascinating and entertaining that I hoped it would never come to an end! "Imperial Earth" is a splendid science fiction novel, written in a way that will have you engaged in the story from second one! In the 22nd century, a small boy lives and dreams on Titan, one of Saturn's many moons. The story follows him for a number of years, allowing you to grasp what sort of person he is, just quite a normal boy, who happens to have been born into a high class family, high class that is, for rough necked minors - while he is discovering the world around him, which is a particularly obscure enviroment to live in. I shall not say more about the plot, but I will say that the writing style and description of characters and their surroundings are wonderful and detailed, making "Imperial Earth" a very good quality science fiction read, a necessity for all fans of the genre!
