In PROXIMA we discovered ancient alien artifacts on the planet of Per Ardua - hatches that allowed us to step across light years of space as if we were stepping into another room. The universe opened up to us. Now in ULTIMA the consequences of this new freedom make themselves felt. And we discover that there are minds in the universe that are billions of years old and they have a plan for us. For some of us. But as we learn the true nature of the universe we also discover that we have countless pasts all meeting in this present and that our future is terrifyingly finite. It's time for us to fight to take back control.
My thoughts:
The things he comes up with, my heads always spins after reading a Baxter book. He also seems to like the End Time. You know the end of it all.
I always feel all WOW. Here we have multiverses and hatches, and, aye beyond me.
The two people from the last book stumbled into a multiverse in the last book, and here Rome never fell so Rome went to space.
But that is not the only multiverse. A few other characters also from that previous verse makes it here and explore this brand new reality. And it is fascinating. What if this and that never happened, what if time took another direction. So much to explore.
The possibilities are endless.
Conclusion:
Good book. He is a great author
