    �The Best Science Fiction Books with Gas Giants� by Dan Livingston

    https://best-sci-fi-books.com/the-best-science-fiction-books-with-gas-giants/

    I have read:
    10. Cold as Ice by Charles Sheffield � 1992
    3. Leviathans of Jupiter by Ben Bova � 2011
    2. 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke � 1982 (the movie is awesome too !)

    Other gas giant books are �The Ophiuchi Hotline� by John Varley
    (awesome) and an early Perry Rhodan book where PR and crew land on the >"surface" of Jupiter using force fields and anti-gravity.

    2010 (the movie) is that the one where they go to Jupiter and Helen
    Mirren was the Russian captain? If so, I also thoroughly enjoyed it
    though in my opinion she carried the show pretty much solo.

    That's it.
