Where will you get your copy and when?
Has anybody ever read anything by Stephen Baxter before? Is it any good?
I'll probably take a trip to Tesco on the release date and get a copy from there.

The official release date is the 21st June in the UK. That's just over two weeks away.

I have read "Flood" (thank you Sjoerd) and found it enjoyable. I haven't read his other stuff tho.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

The cheapest I've found it for so far is £9,87 with free delivery from Amazon.co.uk
It seems to be out on June 19th in the US. I've preordered a copy for Sharlene for $14.48, but you usually pay for postage in the US.

Can't get free delivery from amazon for sales less than £25 to Ireland so the cost was working out to about 19 euro for me so went with the cheaper option

Play does free delivery but its showing as 17.49 euro . Conversion sounds a tad off .

If you ordered the Poo one as well would that qualify you for the free postage Pip.

I have read a book he wrote with Arthur C. Clarke, can't remember the title but it was good
A poster outside one shop urged people to Dig For Victory, as if it were some kind of turnip.

Looks like it was a trilogy - Time Odyssey Trilogy? (Time's Eye, Sunstorm and Firstborn).
