Baxter, Stephen Manifold: Origin
Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A. Del Rey 2002 0345430794 / 9780345430793 Hardcover As New As New Book
Fine condition! Like new Synopsis: 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. Claiming the legacy of Heinlein and Asimov, Baxter now returns with his third Manifold novel-in which he uses an astounding adventure story to posit a breathtaking vision of the origin of species . . . on earth and beyond. In the year 2015 a red moon appears in the Earth's orbit: brooding, multi-textured, beautiful, and alive. Catastrophe follows. While coast lands are flooded by the new gravitational forces, millions of people die. Scientists scramble desperately to understand what is on the big red moon and how it got there. And NASA astronaut Reid Malenfant, and his wife Emma, are hurtling through the African sky in a training jet, when everything changes forever.
