Saturn Conundrum
It is summer of 2037 and America's Aurora is vying with China's Ming-Xi to land the first humans on Mars. But China intends for Ming-Xi to be the only ship to reach Mars.
Rae Anne Chavez, one of three astronauts on Aurora's crew, is suddenly faced with the most important decision of her life when she finds herself alone on a damaged ship 100-million kilometers from Earth.
The consequences of her decision will shape not only her own destiny, but profoundly affect the future of humanity.
This is the story of Rae Anne's courage, commitment, and determination to see an impossible task to its unforeseeable conclusion.

The reviewer, Scott Cahan, writes:
Saturn Conundrum is one of those rare science fiction novels that is so well-researched and grounded in real science that it feels like this scenario could really happen. Anyone who has paid attention to past and modern-day space exploration on television news or documentaries will easily see the way this story is extrapolated from those real-life accounts. It takes familiar images and thrusts them 13 years into the future, allowing the author to take a few scientific liberties that don’t seem all that far-fetched, to be honest. On top of that, Dan Bishop added just the right amount of danger to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The other thing that I loved about Saturn Conundrum was the way it humanizes the story through wonderful characters. Several of the astronauts are given rich, yet unique personalities. Rae Anne Chavez is described so brilliantly, inside and out, that I couldn’t help but feel connected to her and be deeply concerned for her as I followed her story. Saturn Conundrum is a beautifully crafted novel of hard science fiction about great characters that I highly recommend. I loved every bit of this story.
