While coastlands flood by the new gravitational forces, millions of people die. In the year 2015 a red moon appears in the Earth’s brooding, multitextured, beautiful, and alive. Claiming the legacy of Heinlein and Asimov, Baxter now returns with his third Manifold novel–in which he uses an astounding adventure story to posit a breathtaking vision of the origin of species. Heralded by Arthur Clark as “a major new talent,” Baxter stands time and space on their collective heads, envisions the future reflected in the past, and the past in the galaxy’s most distant reaches and unformed speculations. Stephen Baxter’s Manifold novels have struck the world of science fiction like a meteor.
