Giants series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Inherit the Stars)
Giants Series is a series of five science fiction books by author James P. Hogan beginning in 1977. The story follows several scientists who discover how humans originated on a planet named Minerva which orbited the Sol System between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. When Minerva was destroyed during a civil war a handful of people migrated from a lunar colony to Earth and colonized it. The colonists' descendants soon forgot their technology and where their ancestors had come from and began our current view of history.[1]
The second book in the series features a first contact between humans and extraterrestrial beings.
