<DIV><B>The &ldquo;provocative and entertaining follow-up&rdquo; to <I>The Forge of God</I>: Exiled from their planet, humans unite with one alien race in the fight against another (<I>Publishers Weekly).</I></B><BR /><BR /> &#160;The Ship of the Law travels the infinite enormity of space, carrying eighty-two young people: fighters, strategists, scientists&mdash;and children. After one alien culture destroyed their home, another offered the opportunity for revenge in the form of a starship built from fragments of the Earth&rsquo;s corpse, a ship they now use to scour the universe in search of their enemy.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Working with sophisticated nonhuman technologies that need new thinking to comprehend them, they&rsquo;re cut off forever from the people they left behind. Denied information, they live within a complex system that is both obedient and beyond their control. They&rsquo;re frightened. And they&rsquo;re waging war against entities whose technologies are unimaginably advanced and vast, and whose psychology is ultimately, unknowably alien.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> In <I>Anvil of Stars</I>, the multimillion-selling, Nebula Award&ndash;winning author of <I>Eon</I> and other science fiction masterpieces &ldquo;fashions an action-packed and often thrilling plot; by using each of the well-depicted alien races to mirror human behavior, he defines what it means to be Homo sapiens. .&#160;.&#160;. A gripping story&rdquo; (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).</DIV>
