The Two Worlds
The ''Giants'' series is a group of five science fiction novels by James P. Hogan, beginning with his first novel, 1977's ''Inherit the Stars''. Origins Hogan revealed in the introduction to the omnibus edition ''The Two Moons'', that ''Inherit the Stars'' was inspired by a viewing of the film ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' (1968) which he enjoyed until the ending. Complaining about what he saw as the confusing, effects-heavy conclusion at work afterwards, each of his colleagues bet him five pounds that he couldn't write and publish a science-fiction novel. The result was ''Inherit the Stars'', which was published by Del Rey Books in May 1977. He later asked Arthur C. Clarke about the meaning of the ending of ''2001'', to which Clarke reportedly replied that while the ending of Hogan's ''Inherit the Stars'' made more sense, the ending of ''2001'' made more money. Background The series is notable for its creation of a substantial prehistory of the Solar System, stretching back mill ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
