The book starts off in a quasi first person narrative but it switches to a third person perspective. Personally it's done well and it's not annoying and I think it fits the story well. There is a lot of technical talk but the author keeps it to the point where it doesn't slow down the book and kept me entertained. The book gets better towards the end and is believable in the descriptions. The only thing that is a personal letdown is that it didn't shock me to the core but still worth a read.

Pitifully Terrible Story Concept Told Exceedingly Poorly
“Titan” is a near time story of ‘woke’ beta astronauts and scientists dispatched to Saturn’s moon Titan in a haphazard, mad dash, to cross 8 billion miles in global effort to find what happened to a probe that [*Spoilers Ahead*] went silent after discovering sentient life forms. Every SJW identity box is ticked by the author: gender, race, country, etc. No steely eyes rocket men in this cast of characters; only emotionally unstable, passive-aggressive, pendant, ability to cry at anything [as do the aliens as well], handholding, espresso swilling types allowed. And romantic entanglements a must for this 8 person crew aboard the Spaceship ‘Love Boat.’
Adding to the train wreck of a story, the established author doubled-down by choosing a bloviated, first person ‘Dear Diary’ format for much of book. There are the descriptions of the crew which reads as bios for a singles’ cruise, any potential entertaining aspects quickly glossed over, and a fetish for what beverages and pastries are served at the innumerable conference meetings.
Amongst the worst books ever endured by this reader.
“Titan” is not recommended and was fully read [foolish me] via Kindle Unlimited.

A good read for sure.
Thought provoking and uplifting. Interesting characters and good-paced plot. A sequel would be welcome - what will the ongoing relationship be between Earth and Titan.

Too long for the story.
Reasonable story line but far too long. A bit like the first 20 chapters of War and Peace.
Very female style.
