Terry Pratchett (Author)
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global
bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of
Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over
fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies
worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and
screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the
Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to
literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his
greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

with Arthur C. Clarke) and Time Ships, a sequel to H. G. Wells’s
The Time Machine, a Doctor Who novel, The Wheel of Ice, and most
recently the epic, far-future novels Proxima and Ultima. He lives

Inspired . . . something of the poetry and visionary wildness of an
author such as Jeff VanderMeer . . . enthralling and
thought-provoking in equal measure.
*DAILY MAIL*
Intricately described . . . gently immersive . . . Baxter's
scientific grounding will make you dwell once more on that chilling
quantum idea that to exist is to be observed . . . if you've been
following the series from the beginning, this last chapter will
make you cry, all on its own.
*GUARDIAN*
One of the unexpected delights of the later Pratchett career . . .
a novel that comes across as a love letter to science fiction
itself, one suffused with a Clarke-like optimism about the future.
Baxter, you'd guess, is saluting two old friends here.
*SFX magazine*
A fine and fitting testament to the work of one of our greatest and
much-missed writing legends, and a reminder that in the likes of
Stephen Baxter, British science fiction remains in safe-hands.
