Return to the eon-spanning and
universe-crossing conflict between humanity and the unknowable alien
Xeelee in this selection of uncollected and unpublished stories, newly
edited and placed in chronological reading order.
From
tales charting the earliest days of man's adventure to the stars to
stories of Old Earth, four billion years in the future, the range and
startling imagination of Baxter is always on display. As humanity rises
and falls, ebbs and flows, one thing is always needed - the ability to
endure.
Contains eleven short stories and novellas.
