I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet but Ralph Lorenz's book is now available. There are various reviews out there already too.

I just got my copy the other day. I was up waaaay too late last night reading the chapters on the Huygens landing. It's good!

(There were also some nice comments regarding the effort of amateurs making mosaics of returned images)

Didn't find it on amazon.com

That's strange, because it's there - in stock, discount price, 5 star review and all.

That appears to be an older 2002 release by Ralph.

The April 1, 2008 release of TITAN UNVEILED is http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=titan+unveiled&x=0&y=0

Did you mean http://www.amazon.com/Titan-Unveiled-Saturns-Mysterious-Explored/dp/0691125872/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208790716&sr=1-1? Apparently the words Titan and veil are popular for Titan book titles!

EDIT: Ah, you beat me to it!

Well, it makes sense for a sequel. Once you are finished Lifting Titan's Veil,
then Titan [is] Unveiled. Of course the unveiling just marks the beginning...

Bring it to me and I'll sign it......

Got my own first copy the other day - am not unpleased with it (although of
course I found one small error...a duplicate entry in a table :-{ )

Just bought the paperback edition. I can't wait for my girlfriend to complain about me reading a book instead of complaining about me staring at a computer screen!
