Customer Reviews

An average start to The Grand Tour - By: Mr. G. Battle, 03 Nov 2007
Powersat is, chronologicallly, the start of Ben Bova's series 'The Grand Tour' (which later includes Mars, Jupiter, Moonrise etc). This is a standalone book following the creation of a satellite which can beam solar power to Earth in the form of microwaves. This technology would remove the Middle-Eastern stranglehold on fuel, & therefore comes under threat from some rather two-dimensional terrorists. Although the book never becomes tiresome, the plot is not particularly clever, & it seems if Bova is churning out a quick read to earn some easy bucks. The love story is contrite & although used to progress the plot, is rather short on plausibility. These faults aside, Powersat is an easy going techno-thriller, low on techno & on thrills, but interesting enough to ensure you see it through until the end.
