À propos de cet audio

Stephen Baxter's highly acclaimed first novel and the beginning of his stunning Xeelee Sequence finally enters the SF Masterwork series!

A spaceship from Earth accidentally crossed through a hole in space-time to a universe where the force of gravity is one billion times as strong as the gravity we know. Somehow the crew survived, aided by the fact that they emerged into a cloud of gas surrounding a black hole, which provided a breathable atmosphere.

Five hundred years later, their descendants still struggle for existence, divided into two main groups. The Miners live on the Belt, a ramshackle ring of dwellings orbiting the core of a dead star, which they excavate for raw materials. These can be traded for food from the Raft, a structure built from the wreckage of the ship, on which a small group of scientists preserve the ancient knowledge which makes survival possible.

Rees is a Miner whose curiosity about his world makes him stow away on a flying tree - just one of the many strange local lifeforms - carrying trade between the Belt and the Raft. And what he finds will change his world....

1992, Arthur C. Clarke Award, Short-listed

Slow going at first, it is a fine Coming of Age story in a fascinating environment. The unique nebula setting makes for repeated plays. Especially recommended for Hard sci-fi fans.

Very enjoyable!

I was looking for something that was similar to "The Locked Tomb" series by Tamsyn Muir and this sure scratched that itch. Baxter serves us some interesting themes that keeps you guessing throughout. And Keeble's performance delivers an engaging experience. He breathes life into the all the interesting characters of this universe. Very enjoyable novel!

Great Story
