Un bel romanzo di fantascienza che ti tiene col fiato sospeso per buona parte del tempo. E che nel contempo affronta una serie di teoremi scientifici, dal Paradosso di Fermi alla macchina di Neumann. Nonostante la trama riveli abbastanza presto le sue possibili conclusioni, l'autore riesce a mantenere una buona drammaticità. ( )
Bear brengt voldoende ideeen samen voor een tiental romans: Europa, de zesde maan van Jupiter, verdwijnt zomaar; in Australie duikt een replica op van Ayers Rock, waar robots uitkomen die het begin van Het Millenium aankondigen, in tegenspraak met een onaards wezen dat verkondigt dat de Aarde gedoemd is tot vernietiging door een naderende wereldbouwer. Deze en andere plotgegevens worden samen verwerkt in een SF-roman die de 'hardcore' (hi-tech SF) combineert met verderreikende elementen zoals vragen omtrent het godsbestaan, boete en humanitaire strekkingen. Bear schrijft zowel 'high fantasy' als 'harde' SF, waaronder deze laatste roman kan gerekend worden, maar er zijn teveel personages, teveel verwikkelingen. Een moeilijk boek, dat weet te boeien door de ideeenrijkdom en de bizarre plotwendingen, waarbij Bear de cliches van het genre keurig vermijdt, en dat de meer ervaren SF lezer zeker zal aanspreken. (NBD|Biblion recensie, E.C. Bertin.) The disappearance of one of Jupiter's moons, the appearance of "little green men" in Australia and the American Southwest, and the sudden presence of unidentifiable objects on a collision course inside the Earth's core add up to the inescapable conclusion that the Earth has been invaded by an enemy it cannot fight. Powerfully and gracefully written, the latest novel by the author of Eon and Blood Music stands far above most examples of "doomsday" science fiction. Recommended.

On July 26, Arthur Gordon learns that Europa, the sixth moon of Jupiter, has disappeared. Not hiding, not turned black, but gone. On September 28th, Edward Shaw finds an error in the geological records of Death Valley. A cinder cone was left off the map. Could it be new? Or, stranger yet, could it be artificial? The answer may be lying beside it-a dying Guest who brings devastating news for Edward and for Planet Earth. As more unexplained phenomena spring up around the globe-a granite mountain appearing in Australia, sounds emanating from the earth's core, flashes of light among the asteroids-it becomes clear to some that the end is approaching, and there is nothing we can do. In The Forge of God, award-winning author Greg Bear describes the final days of the world on both a massive, scientific scale and in the everyday, emotional context of individual human lives. Facing the destruction of all they know, some people turn to God, others to their families, and a few turn to saviors promising escape from a planet being torn apart. Will they make it in time? And who gets left behind to experience the last moments of beauty and chaos on earth? Nominated for a Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1987 and for Hugo and Locus Awards in 1988, The Forge of God is an engrossing read, breathtaking in its scope and in its detail.
