Commentary To Books Inherit the Stars (Giants #1)
THE MAN ON THE MOON WAS DEAD.They called him Charlie. He had big eyes, abundant body hair and fairly long nostrils.
His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave.
They didn't know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him.
All they knew was that his corpse was 50,000 years old; and that meant that this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed!

Enjoyed the book, I love the Giants series.This is the best science fiction book I have ever read. I enjoyed this story immensely and will be continuing the series.5 stars = Yearly re-read4 stars = Re-read eventually3 stars = Very Good2 stars = OK1 stars = Pass on this one.0 stars = Couldn't finish it.
The most enjoyable sci-fi book I have read - and I must have read it at least 3 times, which is rare for me. I've enjoyed all his works and am sad that he died so young (compared with me!)

Part of the best series I've ever read. The second book is even better, the third incredible.
The story is fairly straightforward - Humanity is slowly populating space (this was written in the 1970s and the assumption then was we would continue to explore space after the moon) and in the 2020s the skeleton of a modern-day technologically-advanced human is found on the moon who died about 50,000 years ago. The story centers on Dr. Victor Hunt and his group who try to discover who this skeleton was, how he got to the moon, and how he came to die there. The book is easy to read and mildly
Intelligent, imaginative, thoughtful, amazing hard science fiction.
Very solid 'sense of wonder'-science fiction, in the same vein as Rama. The characters may not be that amazing, but the mystery is wonderful, and true science fiction.
