Uncommonly great
Baxter's main work is called the "Xeelee Sequence". It is a story of the future of the Universe, which Baxter tells in 4 books: Raft, Timelike Infinity, Flux and Ring. Vacuum Diagrams is the fifth book of the series. It is not a one-story book, but a set of 21 short ...
Weaver: Time's Tapestry, Book Four (Time's Tapestry)
Stephen Baxter
Ace Hardcover
, 2008
Shockingly Disappointing
Having read the series as they were released, I was anxious to read this concluding book. Emperor, Conqueror, Navigator were subtle and interesting as Baxter melded history with a sci-fi theme with the prospect of 'something' out there pulling the threads in mysterious ...
Conqueror: Time's Tapestry Book Two (Time's Tapestry)
Stephen Baxter
Ace Hardcover
, 2007
a fabulous fictionalized account
As predicted by the the Menologium of the Blessed Isolde Prophecy, invincible Rome is no more especially in the remote areas like Britannia (see EMPEROR); gone by AD 409. These nine stanzas, written on parchment in the Old English, predict the rise and fall of the ...
Sunstorm (A Time Odyssey)
Arthur C. Clarke
, Stephen Baxter
Del Rey
, 2006
Cool Core Ideas
Obviously you have to read "Time's Eye" first. This book, as with most Clarke books, has some future tech that is more than a bit intriguing. That we can probably produce aluminum on the moon was a surprise to me. I love the idea of building a space sling from ...
Evolution

Del Rey
, 2004
Unputdownable!
I picked this one up on a whim, and found it to be one of the best I've read in a very long time. The level of geological, archaeological, and other scientific detail, and the creation of character and plot from the dust of the past reminded me of the early books of ...
Firstborn (A Time Odyssey)

, Stephen Baxter
Del Rey
, 2007
Not quite the end ?
The Three books of the Time Odyssey Series are both very satisfying and very frustrating. The first book - Time's Eye - with the fractured history on a recreated earth - is mind boggling. The Second one - Sunstorm - with earth working together to ward off the effects ...
The Time Ships
Stephen Baxter
Eos
, 1996
Great Time Travel Book
I loved this book! I've read it 3 times and it still a great read. The ideas, the forethought, and pure creativity level are fantastic. Yes, the original Time Machine novel is a classic and this book more than does it justice.
Emperor: Time's Tapestry #1 (Time's Tapestry)
Stephen Baxter
Ace Hardcover
, 2007
Don't Understand all the Negatives
I don't understand all the negative reviews, I have read the first two books and will read the third. Sure it's not alternative history and yes the Latin is not so great but so what. Both books were page turners that kept me wanting to read on and I didn't find the ...
Ring
Stephen Baxter
Eos
, 1996
Physics lessons hidden in epic fiction
This book had some great information about stellar physics and then proceeded to a tour of some truely giant machines of war. The humans are primitives getting to view some of the battle fields of the photino vs. xeelee war. The view is fantastic. Galactic scale ...

The Light of Other Days
Arthur C. Clarke
, Stephen Baxter
Tor Science Fiction
, 2001
Excellent "What if?" novel
This novel is a great example of the "what if?" variety of science fiction. It takes one or two simple premises and takes them to a great number of logical conclusions. This is one of those books that will stick in your head and leave you pondering the possibilities ...
Manifold: Origin
Stephen Baxter
Del Rey
, 2003
A Magnificent, Awe-Inspiring Thrill Ride!
From front cover to back I felt woven into the multi-layered tapestry of every scene. One of my new favorites of its kind. Sometimes - When you really enjoy a certain genre, writer or subject, one may lack patience or even become subconciously "snobbish" with the ...
Fast Forward 1: Future Fiction from the Cutting Edge
Pyr
, 2007
Great Anthology...a must for SF readers and writers...
I was able to read the ARC of this book prior to its release, and I was very, very pleased with the selections. I enjoyed 14/21 stories in this, with Robert Charles Wilson's, Paolo Bacigalupi's, Elizabeth Bear's, Louise Marley's, and the Mike Resnick/Nancy Kress ...
Flood
Stephen Baxter
Gollancz
, 2008
Outstanding Science Fiction Tale
Just finished reading "Flood", which I had to track down on Amazon.UK, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I could not put this book down. Baxter's story about the end of the world via a global flooding of an unforseen origin is gripping because he creates something most ...
Navigator: Time's Tapestry, Book Three (Time's Tapestry)
Stephen Baxter
Ace Hardcover
, 2008
great thought providing alternate historical epic
I Musta'rib AD 1085. In northern Spain, English teenager Robert wants to become a holy warrior until he meets and falls in love with intelligent Muslim Moraima. At the same time, scholar Father Sihtric and the Vizier of Cordoba hate their symbiotic relationship as ...
