About this book

The Medusa Chronicles (2016, 336 pages), co-written with Alastair Reynolds, continues Arthur C. Clarke's novella A Meeting with Medusa -- part of a run of Baxter standalones written as authorized sequels to other writers' work, alongside The Time Ships (Wells) and The Massacre of Mankind (also Wells). Familiarity with Clarke's original novella deepens it, though it isn't strictly required.
