|author=Stephen Baxter
|publisher=Gollancz
|date=November 2014
|summary=Stephen Baxter writes a sequel to last year's ''Proxima'' - a huge, all encompassing Science Fiction epic that holds ginormous ideas and concepts, but unfortunately forgets to develop characters for some of the ride. Thankfully, all comes together in the end, providing a finale so thrilling it makes the rather difficult start almost forgivable.

In ''Proxima'', alien hatches were discovered across the galaxy, hatches that when opened caused completely unimaginable events to occur - amongst many strange happenings, one character suddenly had a twin she didn't have previously , and one hatch led to a different earth, where the Roman Empire never died.
Many thanks to the publishers for the copy.
Iain M Banks wrote incredibly fun , sometimes moving and always thought -provoking Science Fiction - [[The Algebraist by Iain M Banks|The Algebraist]] is just one example.
And it's hard to read Science Fiction without thinking about one of the great masters - Philip K Dick left a huge legacy, and [[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K DickDo Dick|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?]] is a very big part of that. {{amazontext|amazon=0575116897}} {{amazontextAud|amazon=B00QUS60FK}}
