THE THOUSAND EARTHS - STEPHEN BAXTER TASCHENBUCH

In 2145AD John Hackett's adventure is just beginning. In Year 30  Mela's story is coming to a
close. Hackett  in his trusty ship the Perseus  is not just a space traveller - beginning his
travels with an expedition to Neptune and back - but  thanks to the time-dilation effect  a
time traveller as well. His new mission will take him to Andromeda  to get a close-up look at
the constellation which will eventually crash into the Milky Way  and give humanity a heads-up
about the challenges which are coming. A mission which will take him five million years to
complete. Not only is Hackett exploring unknown space  but he will return to a vastly different
time. Mela's world is coming to an end. Erosion is eating away at the edges of every landmass -
first at a rate of ten metres a year  but fast accelerating  displacing people and animals as
the rising Tide destroys everything in its path. Putting more and more pressure on the people -
and resources - which remain. She and her people have always known that this long-predicted end
to their home  one of the Thousand Earths  is coming - but that makes their fight to survive 
to protect each other  no less desperate . . . and no less doomed. A beautiful  page-turning
story which interweaves the tale of these two characters  separated by both space and time  in
a hopeful exploration of humanities' future  this is Stephen Baxter at his best.
