Evaluate About Books Titan (Gaea Trilogy #1)

1.5 stars. An okay story but after reading Varley's Ophiuchi Hotline, this was a big let down. Definitely a product of the 70's and I found the "free love" aspect of the novel a bit tedious. I will say that the concept of Gaia was very interesting and some of the alien characters original. The problem for me was that I found all of the human characters boring.

I read this trilogy by John Varley years ago -- I believe I read The Persistence of Vision first, during middle school, while off sick from school. In any case, I loved particularly how Varley wrote about gender. In general I prefer women authors, in any category (as will no doubt become plain over the course of this year's exercise in tracking my reading [and re-reading]), but Varley is one of the exceptions to that rule. He seems himself to be very interested in the mutability of gender as a

Uh...no. Stupid. Just plain stupid. Terrible story. Premise starts as a newly discovered moon around Saturn. Explorers sent to check it out. Great. Thereafter...uh...moons end up being regional gods who speak while singing and battle with angels. A whole lot about landscapes as bodies, centaurs, and giant human penises. Uh...so stupid. I do not recommend this book.

Books like this are why sci-fi rides the short bus of literary culture. It has some great ideas and is in a way a tremendous "page turner", but ultimately fails thanks to weak writing and weaker characters. This was the first time in a LONG while I've though "why the hell am I reading this" as I plowed through a book.For the most part I love all kinds of entertainment (from RPGs to movies) with the detailed underpinnings of top notch world building. I've seen Varley's Gaea books referenced

3.8 ⭐This is John Varley's science fiction take on "The Wizard of Oz." It's not a yellow brick road that our Dorothy (aka Captain Cirocco Jones) follows through the alien habitat known as Gaea but rather a convoluted trail through a biologically engineered mix of landscapes and life forms.Varley has more fun in the Gaea novels than in his later, more pessimistic and polemical books. Inventive and sufficiently interesting to make you want to finish the story, it's a fine old piece of space opera.

3.5 stars. During an exploration expedition to the planet Saturn, Cirocco Rocky Jonescaptain of the space vessel, Ringmasterand her crew encounter an anomalous satellite revolving around the planet. The closer they get to the anomaly, the more they begin to realize that its actually a habitat of some sort. While trying to report their findings back to NASA, they are pulled into the satellite. The Ringmaster is destroyed, and Cirocco and her crew are rendered unconscious.After spending some time
