When they found the corpse in a grave on the Moon, wearing a spacesuit of unfamiliar design, his identity was a complete mystery. Analysis showed that the deceased was 50,000 years old - meaning that he had somehow died on the Moon before the human race even existed. On another moon, Jupiter's Ganymede, another mystery was found: a wrecked spaceship, which had been there for millennia, and was obviously designed for beings larger than the humans of Earth. The mystery seemed insoluble until another ship, manned by the same humanoid giants arrived, and were very surprised to find humans inhabiting their Solar System.

This is not a new book!!!,
By SF Fan "RO" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Two Moons: Inherit the Stars / The Gentle Giants of Ganymede (Giants) (Mass Market Paperback)
James P. Hogan is my favorite SF author and Inherit the Stars is one of the best SF books ever written. I was excited to see a 'new' book in the Giants series offered on Amazon. However, THIS BOOK IS NOTHING BUT THE FIRST TWO GIANTS NOVELS re-released in a single cover with a new title and a new copyright date.
If you haven't read the Giants Novels by all means buy this book. If you are looking for a new `Hogan' this isn't it!!!!!

Review - The Two Moons by James P. Hogan,
By
This review is from: The Two Moons: Inherit the Stars / The Gentle Giants of Ganymede (Giants) (Mass Market Paperback)
These are very good stories by my favorite science fiction author.
Little did I know that this book is a combination of two books I have had for many years from Hogan's earlier works "Inherit the Stars" and "The Gentle Giants of Ganymede".

Back in Print!!!,

This review is from: The Two Moons: Inherit the Stars / The Gentle Giants of Ganymede (Giants) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was sooooooo happy to find this reprint: I would not have to damage the 1st edition paperback of this novel by reading it, risking breaking the spine.
And what a great story -- I agree with the first review posted (by SF Fan "RO"): "Inherit the Stars is one of the best SF books ever written..... If you haven't read the Giants Novels by all means buy this book." Why SF Fan "RO" had to dis the reprint escapes me. I feel his disappointment yet know that large sales of this novel would bring additional reprints which would further the appreciation of James P. Hogan.
