Saturn For Sale
Dylan Kline was the quintessential business man. He was an excellent salesman for high end corporate companies, but couldn't resist trying to bully/talk a barista into a free cup of coffee. Why? Because he could. And he did. Just before the shipment of parts to build a biodome and establish a mining structure on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, Dylan was sent a message from Meg Belford. She was a reporter he didn't like, but she offered information to him vital to his project. He didn't like her, but his curiosity got the better of him. He sent Hunter, his assistant, to bring Meg to his lavishly laid out "control room". Still skeptical when she arrived and said she had proof of her news, he still demanded to know what was in it for her. Exasperated, Hunter told him to stop being a billionaire salesman for a moment to let Meg explain. And explain she did.
As usual, Craig Falconer weaves a tale that entrances the reader so quickly that you can't put this Sizzler down. So be prepared to read it in one sitting. Because you will.

Interesting
This one was interesting. Of all the Scifi sizzlers it was a bit boring. The salesmanship of the billionaire was extreme but not the only one on earth, in my opinion. This story was scifi but didn't do much for me.

A salesman
Falconer always takes humanity's fears and hopes with some artistic license and then gives us a thought-provoking moment of clarity.
How are our actions decisions weighed, and what else do we get ourselves into.
No spoilers but I particularly liked how this one went.

This was a great short about the world's greatest salesman about to make his biggest score. Even cons an employee. Today is his big day to sell access to Saturn. Shame if everything went wrong. Wonderful narration and a twist at the end.

Good read
I found this book in the "series" to be good, but not truly excellent. A few in the series are better. A few about like this one. His long form books are quite good, so I expect the if he had made a major book out of this plot it would have been better.
