<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>

2010. More than a century of ecological damage, industrial and technological expansion, and unchecked population growth has left the Earth on the brink of devastation. As the world's governments turn inward, one man dares to envision a bolder, brighter future. That man, Reid Malenfant, has a very different solution to the problems plaguing the planet: the exploration and colonization of space. Now Reid gambles the very existence of time on a single desperate throw of the dice. Battling national sabotage and international outcry, as apocalyptic riots sweep the globe, he builds a spacecraft and launches it into deep space. The odds are a trillion to one against him. Or are they?
