skylar2 's review for:
The Forge of God
by Greg Bear
The plot for Forge of God was gripping, and well-written. If you enjoyed reading Seveneves you will certainly enjoy this book.
That said, I couldn't give it a full five stars. This book does not even attempt the Bechdel test; there are simply no female main characters, and the few minor female characters are simply there for show. There's also only a single non-white character despite this being an obvious global catastrophe.
