Yet another book from a friend that cleared his shelves.
"There is a secret passage through time and it leads all the way to the end of eternity. But the journey has a terrible cost. It alters not only the future but the "present" in which we live.
A century after the publication of H.G. Wells immortal "The Time Machine", Stephen Baxter, todays most acclaimed new "hard SF" author, and the acknowledged heir to the visionary legacy of Wells, Heinlein and Clarke, returns to the distant conflict between the Eloi and the Morlocks in a story that is at once an exciting expansion, and a radical departure based on the astonishing new understandings of quantum physics."
I sure hope the book is better than its back cover text (above)... phrases such as "most acclaimed" and "acknowledged heir" always make me a bit suspicious... ;-)
