How reassuring to know that while so many authors are lying in the gutter of the information superhighway, someone at least is still looking at the stars' The Times 'Time is a big ambitious book.

Huddling with his family, awaiting the end - or an unknown new beginning - Reid tells stories of other possibilities, other realities. Space was important for business, but business only cared about the constellations of utilitarian satellites in low Earth orbit, for communications and. and Reid's reality begins to crumble around him. The platform is intended to probe the planets of the nearest star system by bouncing laser pulses off them. Reid Malenfant is the commander of a NASA earth-orbiting science platform. Tied in to Baxter's masterful Manifold trilogy, these thematically linked stories are drawn from the vast graph of possibilities across which the lives of hero Reid Malenfant have been scattered.

I have a copy of Evolution lying around in my to-read stack. I've read a bit of Stephen Baxter's work, not a whole lot - his collection of short stories, Traces, Anti-Ice, an excellent alternate history romp, and the last volume of the Manifold series.
