Relation In Favor Of 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!

It has been years since I read this book, but I remember loving it. At the beginning you are presented with a mind bending mystery. In every chapter, you have enough information to construct a theory, but then it is dashed by new evidence. Reading this book was a delightful experience that stands out over the many books I have read since.

I was introduced to this book in a college introductory archaeology course. I was a bit flabbergasted when I first saw the assignment. I'd read my share of science fiction up to that point, and didn't see what I could gain from a science fiction book that would benefit me in learning archaeology.Well, after I read it, I saw.A human skeleton is found on the moon, which is mysterious in and of itself. The more disturbing fact of the discovery, however, is not the simple presence of the remains.

An interesting sci-fi novel, presenting an alternate view of the origin of man on earth, and in the process shedding light on the instincts that drive us.

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

This book astounded me when I first read it. The ideas, the writing, hard science fiction was fairly new for me then.The discovery of a human mummy in a space suit on the moon causes a sensation when carbon dating shows it's age as greater the humans on Earth.

About as hard si fi as you can get. I love a detective story & combined with science fiction it is perfect! Sure, there is little character development, but instead there are character types and an abundance of the kind of ungrounded scientific certainty that can delay scientific break throughs. Made me think of a book I read to my children when they were going through their, long, dinosaur phase (fueled by yearly visits to the dinosaur museum in Drumheller, Alberta), "T.rex and the Crater

Written in the 1970's the author brilliantly predicts quite a bit that's true about the 21st century - sure, we're behind schedule on those flying cars and we've banned smoking but when it comes to his predictions on electronic gizmos he's fairly accurate. Unique storyline with great twist for an ending, I found this to be a very enjoyable science fiction book.
