Though being on ardent sc-fi fan, I have never read Time Machine by HG Wells, so When I started this book, I Approached it with a bit of trepidation. I thought I was stepping into the deep end, and I would be hopelessly lost. I was wrong. and more wrong, I Could not have been, this book, though a "sequel", is independant in it's thoughts and it's scope. It's writing explodes into your mind, your imagination titilating. Though the notion of parallel universes, would be known to any sci-fi reader worth his salt, never has it been explored, exploited and Executed into a story so well. Though the scientific premise of this story is sound and invigorating, Baxter never lets it to dominate, he keeps in mind thatthis is a book and above all, it is meant to be read and to entertain. The story Continues as He Explains and educate, the plot is one of the most progresión seamless I have seen in a sci-fi novel. If this book shows anything of Baxter's promise, it is indeed if he Continues like this, in time his name would be remembered with the likes of Asimov, Clarke and Hein Lien. Buy this book, you want to and can not regret it.
