Critics Review
‘Stephen Baxter is arguably Wells’s current representative on Earth.’
Stephen Baxter is arguably Wells’s current representative on Earth. * BBC INSIDE SCIENCE, RADIO 4 *Stephen Baxter, a bright star in the British firmament of science fiction. * THE TIMES *I can’t think of another living writer more deserving of the “official heir of Wells” tag than Baxter. * GUARDIAN *Admirers of Wells will find much to like in this affectionate and entertaining tribute. * THE DAILY TELEGRAPH *Baxter has cleverly extrapolated Wells’ themes and incorporates scientific theories of the day. * FINANCIAL TIMES *An ingenious work by a perceptive admirer. * TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT *It’s exciting, tense, and more than big and clever enough to be something of a triumph. * SFX *A welcome expansion of the War Of The Worlds story, and one that delights. * SCIFINOW *A novel that’s both an audacious exercise in alternative history… and a hugely exciting adventure. * SFX *A Terrific, powerful, hugely-readable novel. * STARBURST *Massacre is a well thought out and worthy extension of War. * THE BOOK BAG *The Shade of Wells must be applauding. * THE WALL STREET JOURNAL *An enjoyable novel which captures the style and flavour of the original. * THE SOCIALIST WORKER *
