Inspired ... something of the poetry and visionary wildness of an author such as Jeff VanderMeer ... enthralling and thought-provoking in equal measure. -- Ned Denny DAILY MAIL Intricately described ... gently immersive ... Baxter's scientific grounding will make you dwell once more on that chilling quantum idea that to exist is to be observed ... if you've been following the series from the beginning, this last chapter will make you cry, all on its own. -- Jenny Colgan GUARDIAN One of the unexpected delights of the later Pratchett career ... a novel that comes across as a love letter to science fiction itself, one suffused with a Clarke-like optimism about the future. Baxter, you'd guess, is saluting two old friends here. -- Jonathan Wright SFX magazine A fine and fitting testament to the work of one of our greatest and much-missed writing legends, and a reminder that in the likes of Stephen Baxter, British science fiction remains in safe-hands. -- David Barnett THE i NEWSPAPER
