註釋
Saturna, born in the late twenty-first century on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is a dynamic and beautiful intergalactic heroine, possessing extraordinary powers derived from her unique genes and her prenatal exposure to mysterious algae found only in the Sea of Ethane. Her mother is Dr. Nyota Domonique, a microbiologist and commander of the starship Dragon's Egg. Nyota leads Earth's first expedition to Titan, only to discover a highly evolved race of beings already there. The Fazisians are a handsome, peaceful people. Their abilities to communicate telepathically are as striking as their lovely golden bodies and steel-blue feathery hair. This is the first contact Earthians and Fazisians have made with other intelligent life, and they are amazed by each other. Tetrok, the young ambitious heir to the throne of Fazis, and Nyota, whose dark, exotic features reveal her very human mix of ancestors, are drawn to each other. Both know that their feelings must be subordinated to their mission and to the laws of Earth and Fazis, but they will not be bound. Saturna's conception violates those laws, and therefore her very existence is a dangerous secret that could initiate interplanetary war. If Valton, cousin and archenemy of Tetrok, has his way, he will use that secret to destroy Tetrok. But Krecis, the wise one, alchemist extraordinaire, stands in his way. Thus begin the adventures of Saturna.
