About This Book

''Hard science fiction with a lovely vengeance but done so well that almost no scientific background is needed to understand and enjoy it . . . Highly recommended.'' --Analog


The world-renowned science fiction author James P. Hogan returns with the new masterpiece Inherit the Stars. The man on the moon found dead, named Charlie. His skeletal body was found in a spacesuit, surprisingly, he died fifty thousand years ago. No one knew who he was, how he was found, and what had killed him. A few more pieces of the skeletal body were found and discovered remains of a derelict spaceship. The mystery deepens as the truth behind body reveals. This hard science fiction was written in 1972. Even though it has been 40 years since the novel was first published, Inherit the Stars is still scientifically accurate to this day. There is a slight discrepancy and some issues that were addressed in the novel can be easily resolved by current technology. Yet, Inherit the Stars is one of the well-written science fiction thrillers all time.

James P. Hogan was a science fiction writer in the grand tradition, combining informed and accurate speculation from the cutting edge of science and technology with suspenseful storytelling and living, breathing characters. His many novels include the New York Times bestsellers The Proteus Operation and Endgame Enigma, as well as the Prometheus Award winner The Multiplex Man.
