About the Book

From their beginnings foraging at the feet of the dinosaurs, through the apocalypse of an asteroid strike, through countless years of the day to day life and death dramas of survival of the fittest the primate, to the rise and fall of mankind and the final destruction of earth by the expanding sun, the primates have survived. This is their story. EVOLUTION follows the ebb and flow of the fortunes of one group of creatures as they change and adapt to their world somewhere on the horn of Africa. It turns the story of Darwinian evolution into a constant drama, a daily life and death struggle, a heroic story of life's endurance. It is a story that transcends generations, species, mankind and, in the end, the Earth itself. In the tradition of Olaf Stapledon and HG Wells.

Review :
Here's what The Times had to say about Evolution: 'One of the greatest mythsof all must be the origin of the human species itself. Stephen Baxter chronicles the epic survival of the mammalian family that ultimately ends up with us, in Evolution. The sheer timescale makes a great story that is panoramic inextent. I felt I was watching Walking with Beasts rolled into The Human Journey. Baxter's ability to turn science into exciting readable fiction - something my physics teacher should have tried - makes him one of the most accessible SF writers around.' 'A powerful fusion of science and imagination. Baxter makes an impressive job of putting flesh on the bones of scientific theory and in its imaginative vision Evolution deserves comparison with such SF epics as Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men. BAxter leaves you with a memorable yet unsettling sense of our insignificance in the scheme of things. In the story of evolution, as in all good thriller, an extinction event is always lurking just around the corner.'THE GUARDIAN 'Strong imagination, a capacity for awe, and the ability to think rigorously about nasty and vinal things abound inthe work of Stephen BAxter. HIs new novel is about time but its vision of our future is shockingly different and very convincing. Evolution mixes inventiveness with a truly Wellsian (and Stapledonian) vision - and it leaves the reader with a haunting portrayal of the distant future.'TLS Excellent reviews have also appeared in:The GuardianFocusSFXStarburstThe Alien On LineSF Revu Reviews are due in:SFSiteLocusInterzone Stephen has also been appearing on the odd local radio station:BBC Radio Leicester (x3)BBC Radio Southern CountiesBBC Radio Three CountiesBBC Radio Sheffield Stephen will be doing a joint signing and talk with M.
