About this ebook
L. E. Modesitt, Jr's first major work was a trilogy of SF adventure novels published as paperback originals in the 1980s: Dawn for a Distant Earth, The Silent Warrior, and In Endless Twilight. Together they form The Forever Hero.
Thousands of years in the future, Earth is a desolate ruin. The first human ship to return in millennia discovers an abandoned wasteland inhabited only by a few degenerate or mutated human outcasts. But among them is a boy of immense native intelligence and determination who is captured, taken in, and educated, and disappears--to grow up to become the force behind a plan to make Earth flower again. He is, if not immortal, at least very long-lived, and he plans to build an independent power base out in the galaxy and force the galactic empire to devote centuries and immense resources to the restoration of the ecology of Earth.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Skipped ahead randomly, hit a rape scene committed BY THE PROTAGONIST, noped right outa there. Yuck, if I wantd to read that I'd read true crime not sci-fi.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5s
So
after three books you end up with an immortal who whistles women into his bed...
the whole whistle and sex thing really threw me. The one thing you lose when you are
are 500 years old is the ability to whistle .. duh
Interesting concept .. saving Earth... but author got lost ... gerswin,main character is lost. .. reading waiting for a coherent human being to manifest but what ww we get in the end is a
whistling nuclear seed
spreading rapist, nay god of love who has forgotten everything except how to whistle seduce or rape .
the whistling killed me... the whistling that sends angry women into orgasmic fecundity.... and i read it
what kind of man comes up with this fantasy - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually have the 3 individual books, not the compilation. I saw a bunch of the second book around, but it took me years to get all 3. The compilation came out shortly after I did. Excellent story, good writing.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting, very Modesitt-esque--all the standard tropes are in play here as always--but in the end I wonder what the point of it all was. Not his best work, but not painful to read either--it was all very exciting to read while it lasted.
