Publisher Description

The “provocative and entertaining follow-up” to The Forge of God: Exiled from their planet, humans unite with one alien race in the fight against another (Publishers Weekly).

 The Ship of the Law travels the infinite enormity of space, carrying eighty-two young people: fighters, strategists, scientists—and children. After one alien culture destroyed their home, another offered the opportunity for revenge in the form of a starship built from fragments of the Earth’s corpse, a ship they now use to scour the universe in search of their enemy.
 
Working with sophisticated nonhuman technologies that need new thinking to comprehend them, they’re cut off forever from the people they left behind. Denied information, they live within a complex system that is both obedient and beyond their control. They’re frightened. And they’re waging war against entities whose technologies are unimaginably advanced and vast, and whose psychology is ultimately, unknowably alien.
 
In Anvil of Stars, the multimillion-selling, Nebula Award–winning author of Eon and other science fiction masterpieces “fashions an action-packed and often thrilling plot; by using each of the well-depicted alien races to mirror human behavior, he defines what it means to be Homo sapiens. . . . A gripping story” (Publishers Weekly).

Great book

Really enjoyed part 2 of this series. Solid closure.

Graphite Tiger ,

Complex, Interesting, too long

There’s much to enjoy about this book, the second of two. Typical Bear with parts interesting, exciting, mysterious with much science. Too much YA sex; quit it. Also, Greg Bear, no matter how many years in the future he sets his SF material, he writes his characters using “Jesus”, “Christ”, and “Jesus Christ” as swear words. Greg Bear, stop it.
