Description
THEIR GREATEST TEST MAY BE THEIR LAST
Humanity faces its greatest challenge. The alien Reivers have conquered our planet, their newly erected strongholds casting shadows across a subjugated land. And this conflict has a bitter history.
The Reivers overran an alien homeworld in an interstellar war, but some of their victims escaped across space and found Earth. Seeking help, they brought humans to their ship in an effort to communicate. However, they'd unknowingly led the Reivers to us, who hunted them as they fled.
Reivers now aim to destroy the alien spacecraft, transformed into the last refuge of free humans. So Rachel Stewart will leave the habitat for a final, desperate, stand on the planet below. But the ship holds the key to salvation - and without it, humanity will be finished. The galaxy will be next.

A solid and engrossing novel in the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein ... Now Heaven's War takes the story to the next level George R. R. Martin on Heaven's Shadow and Heaven's War In a fast-paced blending of Rendezvous with Rama and The Right Stuff, Goyer and Cassutt offer a compelling yarn about first contact in the near future. Nobody 'does NASA' better David Brin on Heaven's Shadow Heaven's Shadow is a big, sprawling epic that recalls Arthur C. Clarke at his heights. It moves steadily through surprising twists, reverses, revelations, and a big finish. Better still, there's more to come! Gregory Benford Heaven's Shadow is a SF novel in the tradition of Rama and Ringworld... Though this might be plotted like an old-school SF story, it's firmly in the modern cinematic trend in its writing style SFX magazineMore details
