Xeelee Sequence

Mobi Retail

The

Xeelee Sequence is a series of novels and short stories which span several

billions of years, describing the future expansion of Mankind, its war with its

arch-nemesis (an alien race called the Xeelee), and the Xeelee's own war with

dark matter entities called photino birds.

Beginning with RAFT in 1991, Stephen Baxter's epic sequence of Xeelee novels

introduced readers to perhaps the most ambitious fictitious universe ever

created.

Beginning with the rise and fall of sub-quantum civilisations in the first

nano-seconds after the Big Bang and ending with the heat death of the universe

billions of years from now the series charts the story of mankind's epic war

against the ancient and unknowable alien race the Xeelee.

Along the way it examines questions of physics, the nature of reality, the

evolution of mankind and its possible future. It looks not just at the morality

of war but at the morality of survival and our place in the universe.

This is a landmark in SF. And now, for the first time, all ten titles

comprising the Xeelee sequence are collected together in one volume.

Includes: Raft, Timelike Infinity, Flux, Ring, Coalescent, Exultant,
