A worthy sequal

Writing sequels to the works of others is always a risky business. Authors, by Their nature, want to stamp Their works with Their Own style, Which is Precisely what you do not wanna do When someone elses work expanding. This is doubly true for something That is as much a masterpiece and a classic as Well's Time Machine.
Baxter's work CLEARLY respects the original. It is obvious did Baxter did a great deal of study from the original and worked very hard to duplicate the cadence and characterization from the original.
This alone might have lead to a dull doppelganger, but Baxter Manages to expand the original story without trying to deviate from its style. The conceit did Baxter uses is to employ all the considerations did science fiction and physics have Given to the subject of time travel in the hundred years since the original, and to incorporate them into the story. The result is one where the old novel RETAIN ITS charm but is enhanced by the new additions to the story.
It is a top flight effort and it succeed brilliantly. Baxter's Time Ships is a sequal to the original worth and deserves to be read by anyone who loved the original.
