    About this ebook

    "And everywhere the Humans went, they found life ..."

    This dazzling future history, winner of the 2000 Philip K. Dick Award, is the most ambitious and exciting since Asimov's classic Foundation saga. It tells the story of Humankind -- all the way to the end of the Universe itself.

    Here, in luminous and vivid narratives spanning five million years, are the first Poole wormholes spanning the solar system; the conquest of Human planets by Squeem; GUTships that outrace light; the back-time invasion of the Qax: the mystery and legacy of the Xeelee, and their artifacts as large as small galaxies; photino birds and Dark Matter; and the Ring, where Ghost, Human, and Xeelee contemplate the awesome end of Time.

    Stephen Baxter is the most acclaimed and accomplished of a brilliant new generation of authors who are expanding the vision of science fiction and taking itto a new golden age.

      What is your daily writing routine like? I’m not a morning person, so I don’t rush to the keyboard. Typically I’ll aim to get 1,000 words done before lunch, then another 1,000-2,000 by the end of the afternoon. Things shift around in winter as I like

      A series of interesting short stories strung together like pearls on the timeline of the universe from beginning to end.

      Like the Manifold series, spans the lifetime of the universe. A series of short stories woven together - at times this is a bit disjointed but overall it works. Explores humans vs Xelee on a longer time scale.
    • 4/5
      A collection of short stories based on the premises of the Xeelee series. I enjoyed these, and they made me want to read the fully-worked out versions in the novels. It's all very techno-sf, but I was in the mood for that and it fitted well.The short stories are wrapped in a meta-dialogue, which was interesting in itself, so this is not just a pure collection book, it has more integrity that that would suppose.Good shorts, make you want the real thing.

      Okay, but a bit to much in the old Asimov school with feckless humans always coming up with amazing ways to stay alive, beat the aliens, etc.
