Resumen del Editor

Long before the world of the Ganymeans blew apart millennia ago, the strange race of giants had already vanished. All that remained of them was a wrecked ship abandoned on a frozen moon of Jupiter. Now Earth’s scientists are there, determined to ferret out the secret of the lost race. But when suddenly the Ganymeans return, they bring with them answers that will reveal the secret of our own as well.

©1984 James Patrick Hogan (P)2013 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Scientists’ efforts to uncover the unexpected genetic link between Terran and Minervan life is aided by the equally unexpected reappearance of a Minervan ship. Interesting reading for sf enthusiasts and for those who enjoy a methodical analysis of a complex theory." ( Kliatt)

good but story does not withstand the time

good- intersting plot, narrator voice
bad- too many smoking commercials (did the author got paid by tobacco companies?) and explanation dialogue's.

Enjoyable

Loved the overall book. The ending was stretched out and could have been shortened. But ended up with a great ending.

Great follow-up to the first book.

I really like sci-fi with lots of science and also military intrigue. Human race- it’s always been us or them, keeps us on our toes. Or does it? It’s wonderful to think we might just outgrow that competitiveness and come together for the good of all. Or could we really? Hmmm.
It’s great to think there might be races that just went there in the first place.
I missed this author when these books came out (1977). I would have loved them them. Now 40 years later, this is still a great read although more than a bit not PC. That’s ok. The story is worth it!

Gigantic

Thank you for weaving the human story into this entire trilogy. Inherit the the star created the framework, Gentle Giants the back story and hints of those things to be discovered, and the Giants Star brought human kind full circle and established the Galactic future.

Good hard Science Fiction Story

Unfortunately the science is out of date. Story moves along well and is entertaining.

Ideas are more interesting than people!

This book takes the series in a different direction from what I expected. As always, with Hogan one gets more ideas than characters. (The author reminds me of Arthur C. Clark in that respect). Here the ideas involve around more in depth understanding on the nature of evolution, time dilution, and planet formation. One could read this story without having had read book one and would have no problem following the story.

Hogan's one of my favorite science fiction authors and with this second book in the series he doesn't disappoint.

Great story. Start with the first book.

A fantastic story weaving evolutionary theory with a taste of Sherlock Holmes and sci-fi. This is a series I always go back to.
