The Gentle Giants of Ganymede (The Giants' Trilogy, Book #2)
This book takes the series in a different direction from what I expected. As always, with Hogan one gets more ideas than characters. (The author reminds me of Arthur C. Clark in that respect). Here the ideas involve around more in depth understanding on the nature of evolution, time dilution, and planet formation. One could read this story without having had read book one and would have no problem following the story.Hogan's one of my favorite science fiction authors and with this second book in the series he doesn't disappoint. Ideas are always more interesting than people.
