Book Review: Terraforming Earth

 

Terraforming Earth by Jack Williamson 

Okay - Terraforming Earth by Jack Williamson is about cloned humans living on the Moon and their struggle to recolonizing the Earth after an asteroid strike.  The story spans thousands and thousands of years that even the author has lost track of.  This one reminded me of the recent movie, A Sound of Thunder, with its unique animals and creatures the characters encounter over the millenniums.  If you like the idea of cloning and planet exploration, you won't be disappointed, otherwise the story is little hard to get through only because there really isn't much going on.
