		Together with Arvins (God of the Hunt) and Queprur (Goddess of Death), Urtengor is one of the three Gods dedicated to the element of Earth.

	Greg Bear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His work has covered themes of galactic conflict (Forge of God books), artificial universes (Eon series) and accelerated evolution (Blood Music, Darwin's Radio, and Darwin's Children).
		The scientific details in his work are such that he is usually classified as a hard science fiction author, but some of his speculations are not equally rigorous in all of his works.
		For example, the mathematics in the Eon series, such as the "pi meter", are dubious at best and The Forge of God interprets the Gaia theory freely in ways that might be considered questionable by most scientists.

		After the opening, The Forge of God expands to study the ways other characters face the enemy aliens and the inner transition from centered oneness to centerless manyness that the aliens from the stars represent.
		He therefore declares that the alien scourge is but the forge of God, and councils meek acceptance as God burns the earth in His forge.
		God is not burning out the earthling's sinful nature in a forge, rather nature is burning out the earthling's sinful belief in God in a forge.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Anvil of Stars at Epinions.com
		For readers of The Forge of God, our main protagonist is someone we already know, Martin Gordon, the son of Arthur Gordon, a major player in the earlier story.
		But where The Forge of God affects us in no small part because of its familiar and comfortable setting, and the fear of its loss, Anvil of Stars wrestles with questions about vengeance and justice, roping us into becoming emotionally invested on that level.
		However, while I believe that The Forge of God has the potential to appeal to people who are generally not readers of science fiction, Anvil of Stars might be less immediately accessible to anyone who isn't already a devotee of SF.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: The Forge of God / Greg Bear
		The Forge of God is Greg Bear's best novel and one of the best, if not the best, alien invasion novels written since H.G. Wells got the ball rolling with War of the Worlds.
		Long but not overlong, the story is told with a grim and powerful sense of inevitability that gives its climax a tremendous jolt of authenticity and emotional force.
		Throughout The Forge of God, Greg Bear makes remarkable storytelling decisions that keep his tale from sloshing through the quagmire of formula predictability.

	John Sladek: Book Reviews
		The Forge of God is one book that pays attention to the Hollywood elements in the end of the world.
		But this purification overlooked the fact that the distortion and disintegration of the image as a plastic experience had not been due to represented meaningful signs as such but rather to the prevailing representation-concept which was static and limited, and consequently in contradiction to the dynamic plastic nature of the visual experience.
		Earlier pyramidologists have imagined that it was all the work of Noah, under the direction of God; or used the Pyramid's dimensions to deduce that the British are the Lost Tribes of Israel.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		The Forge of God (1987) brings home with savage irony the lethal dangers of Earth's galactic neighborhood; its sequel, Anvil of Stars (1992), narrates claustrophobically a belated vengeance by the remnant of humanity.
		Vince in particular was taken with my novels The Forge of God and Anvil of Stars.
		Having Forge of God get a director and a studio green light for production—you saw the green light itself in the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, very impressive—will push a number of buttons here in Seattle and in New York, and then there can be a more definite answer to your question.

		I’ve just finished reading Greg Bear’s Anvil of Stars, the sequel to Forge of God.
		In Forge of God, Bear has the Earth destroyed by alien machines – but a small portion of humanity is fortuitously rescued by a second group of alien machines called the Benefactors.
		Anvil of Stars is concerned with what happens after, which is that groups of humans travel to the stars in Benefactor ships to enforce the Law.

		AOS is a good story from the beginning (I'm halfway through), but from the start I could feel the writing happening: 20 pages in I knew who would die first, and I knew whom the main character would end up with, and other stuff along those lines.
		I was somewhat disappointed with the first book, The Forge of God, in part because it was bound to terra firma, and in part because of the weak political intrigue.
		Fortunately, Anvil is a different sort of animal; it takes the reader from planet to planet, star system to star system, spinning believable struggle-for-power subplots, with a few red herrings thrown in for good measure.
