Cradle of Saturn
Hogan, James P
"THAT PLANET HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THERE!"
Among the Saturnian moons, farsighted individuals, working without help
or permission from any government, have established a colony. They call
themselves the Kronians, after the Greek name for Saturn. Operating
without the hidebound restrictions of bureaucratic Earth, the colony is a
magnet, attracting the best and brightest of the home world, and has
been making important new discoveries. But one of their claims -- that
they have found proof that the Solar System has undergone repeated
cataclysms, and as recently as a few thousand years ago -- flies in the
face of the reigning dogma, and is under attack by the scientific
establishment.
Then the planet Jupiter emits a white-hot
protoplanet as large as the Earth, which is hurtling sunwards like a
gigantic comet that will obliterate civilization....
