[Stephen Baxter] is one of the few still producing massive,
fastidiously textured SF epics that engage the intelligence of the
reader. Ideas come thick and fast, and an exhilarating sense of
wonder is guaranteed.
*The Independent*
Stephen Baxter is an incredibly skilled author - a successor to
Arthur C Clarke and Philip K Dick who has kept me entertained for
years with his clever books written around huge ideas and
concepts.

Ultima is a tour-de-force of grand Space Opera, where an unbridled
enthusiasm and super-long timelines create a tale full of wonder
and cool imaginings. Whilst enjoying the travelogue, it is clear
that, in the finest Clarkean tradition, the joy of discovery leads
to even greater mysteries to be understood. Ultima is great fun. I
loved this book, even more than the first, and I really want to
read the next book as soon as possible. Definitely one of my
favourites of 2014.
*SFF World*
this is a hard SF novel that battles bravely with big ideas. With
every passing year, the oft-made remark that Baxter is Arthur C.
Clarke's heir seems more and more apt
