Publisher's Summary

Trapped on an alternate Earth, the combined crews of a crashed Russian spaceship, a British expeditionary force and a group of strays from the future must work together to survive, escape and discover what led them to this point. All are from parallel universes where small changes in history led to different realities, and the tensions between the groups are rising.

But some changes were not small. The solar system has been altered, changed, shaped in the various realities, and the World Engineers - unspeakably powerful, completely unknown - are still active. Why have they populated this planet with humanity's ancestors and dinosaurs? What is on the moon of Saturn that gives off such an odd light? And even if they can be found, can they be stopped - and should they be?

Malenfant, Deidra and the rest of their party must find a way off the planet, back into space, and into the many dimensions seeking the answer....

Profile Image for Alexander Fernandes

long lost Manifold series book.

This was a treat. I read the manifold series ages ago. I saw this book in a bookstore in England and foolishly didn't buy. It never went in print in North America that I know of.
This book is from a time when Baxter wrote stories to be enjoyed. Its creeping in here, so you still get the finger waging progressive need to make everything about sinking into the sea. It's a very myth for them and a tired one. Yes, yes, we know you're scared of CO2, now tell me about other galaxies in the far future. Exultant has to be Baxters best work.
