"Alien invasion juiced up by alternate history, with real people as
well...from sci-fi's Valhalla, the shade of Wells must be
applauding. Perhaps with a touch of envy."--Wall Street Journal
"A highly enjoyable work of homage and extrapolation. Baxter's
chapters are short, sharp shocks, and he cleverly reuses many of
Wells's original characters...[and] regularly offers intertextual
winks to readers who know their Wells."--The Washington Post
"Tightly gripping storytelling [that] reads like a genuine labour
of love. I can't think of another living writer more deserving of
the "official heir of Wells" tag than Baxter." - The Guardian "The
style and tone are spot on...cleverly extrapolates Wells's themes
and incorporates scientific theories of the day."--Financial Times
"An ingenious work by a perceptive admirer...never less than highly
diverting."--Times Literary Supplement "A superb sequel...turns the
terrific tale Wells told in his time into the foundation of
something greater. [A] fitting and filling follow-up to one of
science fiction's great standard-bearers."- Tor.com "An audacious
exercise in alternative history...and a hugely exciting
adventure."--SFX Magazine "Very much a tribute to HG Wells...a
wholly unexpected treat of a sequel."--SF Crowsnest "Surprisingly
thoughtful...[a] page-turning novel that pays homage to the
original story but then enhances it." - SFFWorld
