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. Science Fiction Space Opera Time Travel Kurgu

What a fantastic read/listen. I read this book twice before using audible. It's even better when read by others with feelings. I can't recommend this enough.

I love this book, it's really very very good. The plot is the best thing about it. There is a lot going on, but over very long stretches of time.

I think that there should be a better summary about what it entails. At the moment, if you read the summary it sounds like a big adventure and travel and oh so much space and invention. While yes, there are all those things, it's very drawn out. John Hackett isn't traveling very far really, he doesn't find anything new, he only time travels through earth's history. It's still such a great story but it's much slower and much less adventurous than the summary makes it out to be.

I would definitely recommend this to any scifi lover but also to people looking to step into scifi with some great human stories and not just a lot of tech they will have trouble understanding. This is a story about where earth and humanity go in billions of years, not a story about spaceships and aliens.
