The second book of the Giants Trilogy picks up where the first -- Inherit the Stars -- left off. Victor Hunt, fresh from his success with Charlie, continues his scientific science fiction sleuthing on one of Jupiter's moons. You see, a giant spaceship was found frozen in the ice, and this time Charlie's race had nothing to do with it.

Again, Hogan is in top-notch form taking you through the ship, toying with your own speculations about this item or that, and filling you in on the various efforts expended by various branches of science. The characters continue to grow on you, even if Hogan glosses over personal relations or the idea of sitting in a tin can orbiting Ganymede for six months.

And just when you thought it was safe to be in outer space, another "giant" ship comes hurdling into the solar system for a first contact. That brings some answers to the fore, and makes more questions for Victor Hunt and company. And you'll enjoy every minute of the conundrums and consequences of science.
