By the middle of the 21st century, humanity has managed to overcome a series of catastrophic events and maintain some sense of stability. Space exploration has begun again. Science has led the way.

Reviews for Galaxias

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 *
