Book Description

Aug 28 2007 Giants (Book 2)

Giant’s Star: The aliens from Ganymede bought with them answers that forever changed human history. Finally, humans thought they comprehended their place in the universe – that is, until they learned of the Watchers in the stars. Now Earth finds itself in the middle of a power struggle between a benevolent alien empire and an off-shoot group of upstart humans who hate Earth more than any alien ever could.

Entoverse: Jevlen is a rational society managed to perfection by immense super computer JEVEX – until now. Things are falling apart, people are changing, or being changed, and shutting down JEVEX doesn’t help. The changed behave as if they are possessed by demons. Meanwhile in a nearby, completely different universe, rationality is creeping into a world where magic has always held sway. Logic, the magic of this world, is beginning to work! Cause is actually leading directly to effect! What’s more, with the proper concentration and purity of mind, crossing over into a new, rational universe can be achieved. Jevlin is that destination, of course, and the collision is between not just worlds, but universes with completely opposing operating systems.

Product Description

About the Author

New York Times best-selling author James P. Hogan was born in London in 1941 and studied general engineering at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, subsequently specializing in electronics and digital systems. His first novel, Inherit the Stars, which was also the first in his Giants series, was hailed as a major science fiction novel in the grand tradition, combining accurate cutting-edge science with living, breathing characters. Isaac Asimov raved that the novel was “Pure science fiction,” and added “Arthur Clarke, move over.” In 1979 Hogan became a full-time writer, and the electronics field’s loss is every science fiction reader’s gain. He now divides his time between Ireland and Florida.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Giant's Star's Nuclear Fuel is Spent Jan 31 2008
By John - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These are the third and fourth novels in Hogan's Giant's series. The first in the series was his debut novel and one of my all time favorite SF novels. It gets 5 stars. The second novel was pretty good, but not as good as the first, so it gets 4 stars. The third novel was OK, but only because we love the characters from the first two novels so much we'll overlook a lot. Let's give that one 3 stars. The fourth and final novel is a real disappointment. It gets 1 star from me.

Hogan has played this one for all it's worth. If you've read "Inherit the Stars" and "The Gentle Giants of Ganymede", you can stop right there and remember Hogan as one of your favorite SF authors. If you keep going and read "Giant's Star", you'll remember him as a great author who's light got a bit dimmer. However, if you read "Entroverse", you'll probably wish you hadn't and wonder what the heck happened to Hogan.

4.0 out of 5 stars First novel is great. Second novel is less so. Aug 24 2011
By Adrian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a compilation of Hogan's third and fourth novels in The Giant's series.

As other reviewers have said, the third book is quite good. New concepts, new characters and adventures, which culminate in victory for the good guys.

The fourth book looks like Hogan was fine for the first half of the book, then took some funny grass for the rest of the book and the scientific explanations go off on a truly irregular tangent.

I have read reviews which say the fifth book is back on track, so I'll be back to continue the adventures of Hunt and co. But if you haven't read books 3 and 4 yet and want to save time, read the third book, skip the fourth and head straight for Minerva, the fifth.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hogan ties it all together April 24 2013

I had read the original "Minerva Chronicles" (a trilogy back then) about 15 years ago. I loved it and have re-read it a few times and always felt that there were a few unanswered questions about the Jevlenese and their paranoia. With "Mission to Minerva" James Hogan answered those questions in a resounding fashion. There seemed to be a lot of lecturing going on, especially about quantum physics, but i suppose it was necessary. There are times when the fourth sequel is just for the money. Not the case here.
