Brilliant stand alone novel by one of the more individual writers currently out there. I thoroughly enjoyed it, quite unique.
Who will inherit this new Earth?
The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age - a world terraformed and prepared for human life.
But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare.
Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?

Ooh that's a damned good book! Proper big concept sci-fi of a type you rarely see any more.

Many thanks for this, bought the book and the audio book, looks a steal for the price, the reviews are glowing and this sounds like my cup of tea.

Heat. His other novels are equally good and also different to normal fantasy, if you ever see them on offer :smiley:

I'm reading "Heirs of the Blade" right now, I've been spacing them out as I don't want the series to end. I thought "The Sea Watch" was utterly brilliant. The man is a genius.
