[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 973608, member: 4"] I just finished another great sci fi book from Stephen Baxter. "The Time Ships" is a "sequel" to The Time Machine, and it is just incredible. The hero from the story decides to return to the future in his machine to save the woman he left in danger, only to find that as he travels forward into time again the timeline is different than it was the first time. He ends up in the far future and discovers a very advanced and peaceful race of Morlocks, and from there it just gets weirder. You get to visit a couple of different alternate Earths at different times, and ultimately the hero is taken back to the very beginning of the universe itself. As much as the original story was a tale of the utter futility of existence in some ways, this sequel reverses that with a conclusion that is incredibly life-affirming and triumphant. A great read.
