| | 1. |  | Manifold: Time
from Del Rey
Price: $4.16
Customer Review:
If you want an entertaining look at parallel universes and the end of time, then take a pass on this book and pick up almost anything by Michio Kaku. Stephan Baxter's "Manifold: Time" is one of the most boring, academic, migraine-inducing treatments of quantum physics I have ever encountered. It's... more info

| | 2. |  | Flood
from Gollancz
Price: $7.88
Customer Review:
Before I began reading this book I was concerned it may be another "the sky is warming, the sky is warming!", greenhouse gas caused disaster novel. One cannot judge a book by its cover however, and I decided to push through. I was pleasantly surprised at the different concept Baxter uses to flood... more info

Customer Review:
And these pet ideas are the only things that make this book worth reading, bringing what could have been a promising series to its sadly weak conclusion. 19 years after the events of "Sunstorm," Bisesa Dutt is retrieved from hibernation by her daughter, now a grown woman with issues, who has thrown... more info

(If you're not here for a spoiler, don't read past the spoiler line!)
If you're looking for jarheads in space, egyptian aliens, pod races and feel good endings about humankind's unique humanity you can step away now.
The rest of you can face the bloody harsh wind of Baxter's second attempt... more info

| | 5. |  | Sunstorm (A Time Odyssey)
from Del Rey
Price: $4.05
Customer Review:
FirstBorn has a great many plots all running at once and all leading to a final great climax. Very well written until the author ran out...... the end is so pathetic as to be meaningless..... 2001 A Space Odyssey at least had a suggestion of meaning. This was a Dead.....end

| | 6. |  | Manifold: Origin
from Del Rey
Price: $3.00
Customer Review:
I enjoyed the first two books of the Manifold trilogy, but this one was horrid. There is more talk about various primate digestive problems than deep sci-fi or philosophical issues. Absolutely pointless.

from Del Rey
Price: $2.56
Customer Review:
I really wanted to rate this book 5 stars. It was a great yarn: Alexander the Great vs Genghis Khan...Earth being rewoven into eras of time separated by hundreds, thousands, even millions of years...A 'new' Earth being created.
All of these elements added up into a great story that kept me... more info

from Del Rey
Price: $4.00
Customer Review:
Funny, although I enjoyed Stephen Baxter's ideas of our early ancestors and how they might have lived, and hypothesized their ability to make tools and reason, I thought that his projections to be more interesting. I can't look at my town's footprint now without thinking about what kind of heavy... more info

| | 10. |  | Ark
from Gollancz
Price: $20.72
Customer Review:
I really enjoyed this novel having read most of Baxter's other works including "Flood". As other reviewers have mentioned, you just have to except the plot device that we could actually develop a faster-than-light starship within the next generation. Much like "Flood", this is a very dark story... more info
