Stephen Baxter
A British master of cosmic scale, who measures his stories in light-years and the lifespan of the universe.
Stephen Baxter is a leading British author of hard science fiction, renowned for work of staggering scope. His Xeelee Sequence spans billions of years and the entire history of the cosmos, pitting humanity against godlike forces, while novels like the Manifold series and his collaborations with Arthur C. Clarke and Terry Pratchett show his range.
Trained in engineering and mathematics, Baxter grounds his vast visions in real physics, from relativistic travel to the deep future of the universe itself. He specializes in the awe of cosmic scale — deep time, the fate of intelligence, the indifference of the void. Expect rigorous science, immense timescales, and a sense of wonder pushed to its limits. For readers who want their imaginations stretched to the cosmic horizon, Baxter is one of the finest hard-SF authors alive.
