'I was born in AD5279, as humans once counted time. Now I have lived so long that such dates have no meaning. We have lost the years, lost them in orders of magnitude'
From the last days of the Roman Empire in the first century AD to the first days of the Transcendence half a million years later, Destiny's Children has told the epic, terrifying story of how mankind has grown, how it has evolved, how it has forgotten its origins, reached its peak as a galaxy spanning culture and, finally, hit the tipping point before its last fall...
Part of Stephen Baxter's supremely ambitious Xeelee Sequence, Destiny's Children is, itself, a landmark work of modern SF.
RESPLENDENT is a collection of connected stories that inform and expand on the three novels of Destiny's Children. Vast in scope and ambition, full of wonder, this is classic Baxter, classic SF.
Here is mankind, evolved to meet new challenges and environments but still prey to humanity's old weaknesses. Here are stories of epic conflict and intimate pain. Futures that we will shape, futures that will not remember us.
