The Massacre of Mankind

Stephen Baxter is arguably Wells's current representative on Earth. * BBC INSIDE SCIENCE, RADIO 4 *
Stephen Baxter, a bright star in the British firmament of science fiction. * THE TIMES *
I can't think of another living writer more deserving of the "official heir of Wells" tag than Baxter. * GUARDIAN *
Admirers of Wells will find much to like in this affectionate and entertaining tribute. * THE DAILY TELEGRAPH *
Baxter has cleverly extrapolated Wells' themes and incorporates scientific theories of the day. * FINANCIAL TIMES *
An ingenious work by a perceptive admirer. * TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT *
It's exciting, tense, and more than big and clever enough to be something of a triumph. * SFX *
A welcome expansion of the War Of The Worlds story, and one that delights. * SCIFINOW *
A novel that's both an audacious exercise in alternative history... and a hugely exciting adventure. * SFX *
A Terrific, powerful, hugely-readable novel. * STARBURST *
Massacre is a well thought out and worthy extension of War. * THE BOOK BAG *
The Shade of Wells must be applauding. * THE WALL STREET JOURNAL *
An enjoyable novel which captures the style and flavour of the original. * THE SOCIALIST WORKER *
