Critics Review
-
This is a book that quite beautifully uses familiar SF tropes to explore how fragile we are as a species – and how robust and clever we can be too. 4.5 stars.
SFX -
Galaxias is an unapologetic thought experiment…the true protagonist here is Baxter’s invented and inventive cosmology.
The Times -
A welcoming entry point into the world of Stephen Baxter’s grounded big science fiction. Four out of Five Stars
Starburst Magazine -
[Shows] that rationality and scientific co-operation can solve almost any problem, no matter how vast
