The Shade of Wells must be applauding. * THE WALL STREET JOURNAL * Massacre is a well thought out and worthy extension of War. * THE BOOK BAG * A Terrific, powerful, hugely-readable novel. * STARBURST * A novel that's both an audacious exercise in alternative history... and a hugely exciting adventure. * SFX * A welcome expansion of the War Of The Worlds story, and one that delights. * SCIFINOW * It's exciting, tense, and more than big and clever enough to be something of a triumph. * SFX * An ingenious work by a perceptive admirer. * TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT * Baxter has cleverly extrapolated Wells' themes and incorporates scientific theories of the day. * FINANCIAL TIMES * Admirers of Wells will find much to like in this affectionate and entertaining tribute. * THE DAILY TELEGRAPH * I can't think of another living writer more deserving of the official heir of Wells tag than Baxter. * GUARDIAN * Stephen Baxter, a bright star in the British firmament of science fiction. * THE TIMES * Stephen Baxter is arguably Wells's current representative on Earth. * BBC INSIDE SCIENCE, RADIO 4 *
