From Library Journal
The disappearance of one of Jupiter's moons, the appearance of "little green men" in Australia and the American Southwest, and the sudden presence of unidentifiable objects on a collision course inside the Earth's core add up to the inescapable conclusion that the Earth has been invaded by an enemy it cannot fight. Powerfully and gracefully written, the latest novel by the author of Eon and Blood Music stands far above most examples of "doomsday" science fiction. Recommended. JC

The Forge of God begins with several strange events taking place : the disappearance of one of Jupiter's moons, the sudden appearance of here-to unknown mountains in Death Valley and Australia the encounter with alien emissaries bringing conflicting messages. The Australian aliens promise a new era of peace and prosperity, while the American envoy bears news of the impending destruction of Earth.
Bear describes mankind's reaction to certain destruction at the hands of godlike forces with a clinical detachment. Characterization is definitely not his forte, but Bear's imagination is better geared to new (or not so new) concepts, like beserkers, the Law or his frightening world-killing weaponry.
All in all, an interesting read, though the sequel, Anvil of Stars, is definitely more interesting.

I read this book years ago and it is one of the most memorable books I have ever read. Many SF books can be appreciated only by fans of the genre. The Forge of God trancends that narrow classification. There are many "end of the world" stories out there in literature and on film. This one is outstanding not only as a remarkably inventive work of science fiction but also for its portrayal of the range of emotions experienced by people who face either death or salvation. The scene in which a group of people watches the approach of the catastrophe that will annihilate them is particulary moving. One does not have to be a fan of science fiction to be deeply affected by this book.

This book reads away very easily, you don't want to put it down, for you MUST know how it ends. The characters act believable and the story itself is to say at least intriguing. The story is filled with questions and suprises, it might not be a profoundly deep, religious book that will be seen as a new sort of bible, it's still a book that will amuse you for days after you have read it.
I recomend it.

some sf novels do get better than this.

Good, interesting story. But boring at times.
I most confess. This was the first Bear book I read, so I'm not quite sure about his (Bear's) style, although I have "Eon" at my bookshelf waiting to be read (Once I... Lesen Sie weiter...

Mother Earth?
Didn't do much for me. A average read of alien invasion of earth. It's sort of a mystery on who is doing what to whom. Who are the good guys and who are the bad? Lesen Sie weiter...
