<p>‘The most important living science-fiction writer in the country’<br /><em>THE TIMES</em></p> <p>‘The best SF writer in Britain’<br /><em>SFX</em></p> <p> <em>Praise for The Manifold Trilogy:</em> </p> <p>‘Pacy, visionary, extravagantly imagined, TIME places Baxter firmly in the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov’<br /><em>THE TIMES</em></p> <p>‘Highly intelligent, with original ideas in almost every sentence’<br /><em>THE GUARDIAN</em></p> <p>‘Baxter is taking basic SF ideas and rebuilding them based on current science, technology and politics … [He] apparently has the ambition and the energy to reinvigorate hard SF all by himself’<br /><em>LOCUS</em></p> <p>‘It’s time for Baxter to take his place alongside Asimov and Heinlein’<br /><em>EDGE</em></p>

2020. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, Reid Malenfant ventures to the far edge of the solar system, where he discovers a strange artifact left behind by an alien civilization: A gateway that functions as a kind of quantum transporter, allowing virtually instantaneous travel over the vast distances of interstellar space. What lies on the other side of the gateway? Reid decides to find out. Yet he will soon be faced with an impossible choice that will push him beyond terror, beyond sanity, beyond humanity itself. Meanwhile on Earth the Japanese scientist Nemoto fears her worst nightmares are coming true. Startling discoveries reveal that the Moon, Venus, even Mars once thrived with life. Life that was snuffed out not just once but many times, in cycles of birth and destruction. And the next chilling cycle is set to begin again . . .
