Stephen Baxter
Stephen Baxter. Rock Day. (Solaris Rising).
Humanity finding out some answers to some pretty big questions, but the act of asking…
Year’s Best SF 15. (eds Hartwell/Cramer, Eos Books, 2010).
As ever, a strong collection of stories, albeit fairly ‘safe’ in terms of a relatively narrow range of sources.
Analog. July/August 2010.
Stephen Baxter does Nigel Kneale, and stories by Rajnar Vajra, Stephen L. Burns, Marianne J. Dyson, Scott William Carter, Carl Frederick, Brad Aiken, and Brenda Cooper.
Stephen Baxter. Project Hades. (Analog July/August 2010).
A story that could quite easily be presented as a missing Quatermass story from Nigel Kneale.
Asimovs. June 2010.
A bit of a deja vu feeling with the opening and closing stories, with two experienced writers re-treading footprints into the sfnal regolith, with the other stories being good without being great.
Stephen Baxter. Earth III. (Asimovs June 2010)
The descendents, many generations hence, of those from Earth II, struggle to understand the nature of their planet and how they got there.
Jonathan Strahan. The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year. Volume 3.
A collection of excellent stories.
Analog. December 2009.
Five regular contributors (Stephen Baxter, H.G. Stratmann, Jerry Oltion, G. David Nordley, Carl Frederick) to Analog providing fayre consistent with that which they have provided previously. Enow already.
Stephen Baxter. Formidable Caress. (Analog, Dec 2009).
Baxter concludes his XeeLee timeline. What strange forces have been at work so that during a couple of days taken as leave from work, I end up reading Baxter’s ‘Starfall’, which has been sitting on my laptop as a PDF for a year, and this story from Analog, which has been sitting on my ‘to be read’ shelf for about six months, in an afternoon sitting?
