Summary: Original and scary sci-fi book
Review: This is the first book I read of Baxter and it got me interested in all his other books. I am sci-fi and astronomy passionate and find some of these ideas very original. I know many people here complained about the characters in the book, but if you forget about them for a moment , since their only purpose is to take you from one era to another, you will find a book rich of interesting and original ideas. At some points the books is scary and seems very negative, no matter how hard you try to make a difference some natural or unnatural forces will always be stronger than you, but I believe the overall message is that we should look inside ourselves and find the strenght to help others even beyong time. This is the problem with humanity, we only focus on "us" and "now" and Baxter makes of this problem the topic of his book. Great reading if you like sci-fi, but you might appreciate it even if you're not that big in sci-fi stories.
