Book Description

2040: Ruins of ancient civilization uncovered on Mars reveal startling truths about the creation of humankind.

2042: In the gray dust of the Earth's Moon, an extinct enslaving race left behind more answers, more questions...and a grim warning.

2067: As Earth's warring factions clash in space for scraps of alien technology, a strange artifact lies trapped beneath the ice-locked oceans of Europa: a machine that holds the key to the final human destiny.

It is called "The Singer" for the eerie tone it emits.An artificial intelligence built eons ago, it may ultimately solve the mystery of the vanished alien races responsible for the birth and development of humanity.But after decades of war, the hostile nations of Earth care more for power than for knowledge.And now all that stands between the coveted Al and an all-out Chinese assault is a vastly outnumbered contingent of U.S. marines, dug in beneath the baleful red eye of Jupiter.As terrifying events light years distant begin to converge---with confrontation imminent and annihilation inevitable---a secret history of creation and doom must at long last be contended with...if humankind is to finally claim its glorious heritage among the stars.2040: Ruins of ancient civilization uncovered on Mars reveal startling truths about the creation of humankind.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Dec 13 2001
By 
Peter Werner "peterwerner4" (Essingen, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heritage Trilogy #3 Europa Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
Those who expect an answer to the questions volumes 1 and 2 have promised would be solved in vol. 3 may be disappointed. The whole book concentrates more and more on the war between the Marines and China, and nothing else. As readers we have been waiting for three books, and then we only get a few lines of information about the aliens/ancestors at the end. The Alpha Centauri plot in the middle of the novel ends abruptly and is never continued.The good action and story of vols. 1 and 2 has now been institutionalised and the fighting gets boring. It is not conceivable that the nations on Earth would behave like this in face of such an enormous discovery. Maybe this book is the preparation of volume four, money has frequently generated trilogies with more than 3 volumes. But if this is the case, we as readers expect more tension and more substance. This book is weak in comparison to the others.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fairly interesting scifi tale about war and aliens, Sep 25 2001
By 
Adam Missner (Roswell, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heritage Trilogy #3 Europa Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
The three Heritage books are really just one long novel. It wouldn't make much sense to read any of them individually since none is a complete story. Anyhow, this was kinda two stories in one. A fairly interesting scifi tale about aliens visiting our solar system. And then (as a bonus) the other story is about a war with the UN and then later, China. Together they make for a pretty good story. I especially liked how Douglas explained the science behind the weapons and technology and described the underlying discovery in the 20th century. On the downside, I coulda used a little less marine comradery and a little more about the aliens.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare series all 3 books are excellent, Sep 7 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Heritage Trilogy #3 Europa Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
A very believable look into the near future. The military actions are fantastic, the people are real and the world is something that can easily imagined.

A clear winner and he distances himself from other writers in the genre.

A must read for any fan of military sci-fi.
