Time (Paperback)

The end of the world news. The human race extinct in 200 years.

This is the Carter Prophecy and it is irrefutable, expressed in the universal language of numbers. But what if there is still a way to survive the catastrophe? When a coded message form the future turns up amid the cosmic background noise of the Big Bang, Reid Malenfant, NASA drop-out turned entrepreneur, diverts his entire space enterprise to find out what it means. The message gives the co-ordinates of the asteroid Cruithne, Earth's remote second Moon – nobody knows how it got there. Soon, Malenfant, his ex-wife Emma, a super-intelligent child and a disturbed mathematical genius are on their way to Cruithne. What is discovered there is nothing less than a revelation: the secret reason for our existence visible at last beneath the rippled surface of Time's river. Can this knowledge save the human race?

''Time' has one of the best time-jump sequences ever attempted, during which the protagonists witness the entire future of the universe…Highly intelligent, with original ideas in almost every sentence…'
GUARDIAN

''Time' places Baxter firmly in the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. How reassuring to know that someone at least is still looking at the stars.
