Stephen Baxter Resplendent

Mit dieser einzigartigen Storysammlung beweist der britische Kultautor Stephen Baxter einmal mehr, dass er zu den Besten seines Fachs gehört – und dass er die kurze Form ebenso meisterhaft beherrscht, wie die großen Epen. Ob er uns nun mit zurück in die Welt von Proxima und Ultima nimmt oder sich mit seinen Alternate-History-Geschichten vor dem großen Terry Pratchett verneigt – Stephen Baxter hat mit Obelisk ein Werk vorgelegt, das sich kein Science-Fiction-Fan entgehen lassen sollte.

Centuries have passed. The wall that Ana's people built has long outlasted her and history has been changed. The British Isles are still one with the European mainland and Doggerland has become a vibrant and rich land. So rich that it has drawn the attention of the Greeks. An invasion is mounted and soon Greek Biremes are grinding ashore on a coastline we never knew and the world will be changed for ever.

Award-winning author Stephen Baxter turns to the origin of species in this final novel of the Manifold trilogy. Reid Malenfant and Emma Stoney are flying over Africa when a new moon appears in the sky–and Emma disappears. She finds herself on the Red Moon with people resembling human evolutionary ancestors, with whom she must learn to live in order to survive.

The Long War by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter follows the adventures and travails of heroes Joshua Valiente and Lobsang in an exciting continuation of the extraordinary science fiction journey begun in their New York Times bestseller The Long Earth.
