Omega Point Trilogy #2

by George Zebrowski

Der schreckliche Krieg zwischen der Erdförderation und dem Reich des Herkules ist seit drei Jahrtausenden vorüber. Das einst mächtige und stolze Volk der hybriden Herkuleaner ist besiegt. Nur wenige Überlebende fristen ihr Dasein in einer religiösen Gemeinschaft auf Myraas Welt.

Auf einem unscheinbaren Planeten greifen zwei weitere Überlebende, Vater und Sohn, auf das Erbe ihrer Rasse zurück. Sie haben nichts von ihrem alten Haß verloren und arbeiten an der Durchführung eines Plans, der den Krieg wieder aufleben lassen und die Erden auf ewig vernichten soll...

Reviews

[Stephen]

Actually pretty good, in a quiet, depressing kind of way. Definitely not a stand alone book, there's not enough plot for that, but as a character study/reflection on purpose and the past, I enjoyed it.

[Alger Smythe-Hopkins]

I will not review this book because I did not get beyond the first couple of chapters. It is not an easy to read book, it is a high science fiction think piece more than anything else. It just isn't very interesting although the concepts are interesting
