Moonseed - Stephen Baxter

of the "Moonseed" touches Earth Rock. The MoonSeed has a reason for it's existence, which i won't spoil, but needless to say it's off the wall, as Stephen Baxter is wont to be, although still in the realms of plausibility). Unfortunately, this then leads to the requirement for the "biggest evacuation since Noah's Ark" (taken from binder blurb). The story involves astronauts, geologists, policemen, and weirdo religious cults,a ll of whom conspire to give a gripping story that is truly believable, while still being slightly towards the hard-core sci-fi side of things. An exciting aside (for me anyway) is that large parts of ...

Thus the fact that Braveheart (for all it’s historical inaccuracies) is one of my favourite films should come as no surprise. I have recently finished my third Stephen Baxter novel. The first story being “Titan”, the second “Time” and the third “The Time Ships”.

While Arthur C Clarke has been sunning himself and remembering his youth in Sri Lanka, the author of this one has taken over the mantle in my opinion as the number one British sci-fi writer. Although this third book in a trilogy is not his best work, its definitely a good transcript of his extreme talent. If you havent read Time and the second book Space then you shouldn't put this one high on your shopping list. Read those first to get the line of the trilogy and the relevance of the characters. Where as the first book in Time explored the apparent limitations of the universe through time travel and basic physics that explain why we are here. This one questions ...
