Ring by Stephen Baxter
Wormhole technology has revealed that our sun will die in 5,000,000 years. A race of superbeings, the fabulous Xeelee, owners of the universe, are thought to be responsible. The bizarre and wealthy cult, the Superet, funds two projects aimed at combatting the force that will murder the sun.‘The most important living science-fiction writer in the country’
THE TIMES
‘The best SF writer in Britain’
SFX
Praise for The Xeelee Sequence:
‘Polishes its ideas with such realistic brilliance you can see a whole civilization in it’
THE TIMES
‘Fast paced, strong on suspense, efficiently written, and has moral weight, but it is in the creation of a genuinely strange and believable new universe that Baxter excels… rigorous, vigorous SF at its enjoyable best’
TIME OUT
‘Arthur CClarke, Poul Anderson, Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein succeeded in doing it, but very few others. Now Stephen Baxter joins their exclusive ranks – writing science fiction in which the science is right, the author knowledgeable, and the extrapolations a sheer pleasure to read, admire, enjoy’
NEW SCIENTIST
‘Almost perfect… RAFT is very, very hard SF and it’s great fun’
