The human race on Earth is in trouble, perhaps facing extinction. A crew of young people travel to the moons of Saturn to investigate the biochemistry of the pre-life conditions there in the hope of discovering something that might save Earth. They race to find answers with death close behind, and gaining. Half Life is pure hard SF adventure, and Clement is at his best.
Reviews with the most likes.
I wish I remembered more chemistry than I do, parts of the book would have been more impressive.
I liked the story but sometimes the writing style made me think I had missed a few pages.
I prefer SF where its about big ideas or new discoveries, etc, I generally am less interested in the characters.
And this had a lot of science and engineering in it. It felt like Clarke or Asimov.
