A fun read
Anvil of Stars, like Forge of God, offers an interesting insight into the human mind. The interactions of the characters after being cooped up in a space ship for years are well written and ring very true with what one might expect from such people in real life. The deeper and more important idea of revenge and whether it is a valid end regardless of the means you use to get there well treated, though it rings slightly hollow at the end with what seemed like a late publisher addition of a happy ending.

That said, I preferred the first book and the take it took on humanity's reaction to an imminent global crisis. I would not hesitate, however, to recommend it for a fun read. Especially if you have read the first one.
There was also a coding error in my Nook edition of this book where a few pages before the end of the 3rd section, the section restarted instead of ending and moving on to the next section. -
Sequel just as good as the first
I thought this sequel was very different from the original but in a good way. First book, Forge of God, was great but it takes place all on earth. Anvil of Stars takes place all on a ship in outer space with the kids who survived from the first book. At first it felt a bit like Ender's Game but it took on a life of it's own. Religion & revenge collide in the sequel. The pace was quite good and the ideas and ideals discussed were good but would have liked a bit more depth.
