A massive story of our possible futures and deep pasts comes to an end in this fourth volume of the Destiny’s Children series by a master in the genre, acknowledged heir to Arthur C Clarke.
The final volume in Baxter's keynote series Destiny's Children.
RESPLENDENT is a collection of stories that encompasses mankind's epic fight for survival against the Xeelee, a narrative of how man will change and evolve over our epic journey out into the universe. These tales will encompass the rise of sub-molecular empires in the first nanoseconds after the Big Bang to mankind's final transformation.
Full of cutting-edge science, descriptions of time and space on a mind-boggling scale and memorable, all-too-human characters. It is both the capstone to one of the most significant series in the history of SF and a remarkable achievement in its own right. This is a mature and uniquely talented writer at the height of his powers.
