Stephen Baxter's Manifold novels have struck the world of science fiction like a meteor. 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.
