The man on the moon was dead. They called him Charlie. He had big eyes, abundant body hair and fairly long nostrils. His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave. They didn't know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him. All they knew was that his corpse was 50,000 years old -- and that meant that this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed!

Review of 'Inherit the stars' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I was quite enjoying this, one of Hogan's more interesting, if slightly gradual works I thought, then the last chapter hit me. Danchekker's speech in the final chapter was electrifying and rockets my interest in the next one. I saw it coming when he began his questions, of course, but hogan intended that and the punch he delivers isn't diluted for it.
Brilliantly conceived, well-written, with a touch of period style to his writing yet optimism for the future. The sort of story I can get my teeth into!
