DESCRIPTION
Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 1992 "Such realistic brilliance you can see a whole civilisation in it" - The Times
"Simply amazing science fiction that will have me grabbing book two" - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars
"one of the best scifi concepts out there" - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars
Stephen Baxter's highly acclaimed first novel and the beginning of his stunning Xeelee Sequence.
A spaceship from Earth accidentally survives the transition to a radically different universe. Five-hundred-years later, their descendants still struggle for existence. The Miners live on the Belt, a ramshackle ring of dwellings orbiting the core of a dead star. They trade for food from the Raft, a structure built from the wreckage of the ship, and where a small group of scientists preserve the ancient knowledge which makes survival possible.
Rees is a Miner whose curiosity about his world makes him a stowaway on a flying tree. And what he finds will change his world.
