Review
"An intruiging speculation on contemporary concerns of global warming and suicide bombers. It is in the characters's flawed and arrogant thoughts, in their secrets and relationships, that Baxter excels. Breathtaking and talented storytelling." (Brigid Cherry DREAMWATCH )
"An author who is increasingly concerned with humanity, our moral frailties and our chances of surviving. He succees admirably in tying the narrative's big ideas to a much bigger central idea; the notion of what exactly it is to be human." (Jonathan Wright SFX )
"A contrasting mix of Baxter's customary skill at presenting a very real near future, and his talent for high-level hard Sciecne Fiction. The characters are always engaing and the revelation of what the Trascendence's 'redemption' might involve is a stunning shock." (Anthony Brown STARBURST )
"Creates a heady a mix of the mundane, the metaphysical, and the theological; a battleground of ideas that Baxter has made his own throughout the Destiny's Children series. Transcendent certainly doesn't disappoint." (EDGE MAGAZINE )
Product Description
Baxter's ability to combine wildly divergent narrative threads has become a trademark of his writing and has been seen to its best effect in the previous two novels from this sequence. TRANSCENDENT, with its melding of a near future narrative that carries a terrible warning about the post-oil and post-global warming world and a narrative thread that tours the fantastically varied diverse species that mankind has become in the impossibly distant future is an example of Baxter at his best. At once a cautionary tale of what we are capable of destroying and a celbration of what we could become this is the capstone to Baxter's best series to date. In TRANSCENDENT we find out what happened to the children of the Poole brothers (from COALESCENT) and what will happen to mankind.
