Proxima baxter6/23/2023 ![]() So where better to start than with this two-part series?įirst of all, I love this book. A quick bit of digging informs me that ‘Obelisk’ and some of the other stories in there take place in the universe of Proxima. Yet the only original work of his that I’ve read is the short story collection Obelisk, of which I have very little memory. Anyone who can successfully follow The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine is surely worth keeping an eye on. When it comes to Baxter, the only full novels I’ve read have been his sequels to HG Wells classics. In fact, the only book with his name that I haven’t enjoyed has been The Medusa Chronicles, and I’m happy to lay the blame for my dissatisfaction with that one at the feet of co-writer Alastair Reynolds, with whom I have a rather tumultuous history. I’ve read bits and pieces of Stephen Baxter’s bibliography, and have roundly enjoyed all of it. But will Proxima prove to be a second chance for humanity, or the catalyst for our destruction. ![]() Yuri Eden is among the prisoners tasked with settling this newfound wilderness.
