Galaxias is an unapologetic thought experiment...the true protagonist here is Baxter's invented and inventive cosmology.
[Shows] that rationality and scientific co-operation can solve almost any problem, no matter how vast
A welcoming entry point into the world of Stephen Baxter's grounded big science fiction. Four out of Five Stars
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.
