Hey ive recently started reading the Manifold series by Stephen Baxter.  There are 3 books in the series so far the first titled Manifold Time, second, Manifold Space and third Manifold Origin.  These books are all science fiction based on science fact and current theory about quantum physics, space, time, genetics and astrophysics.  It sounds like heavy reading, but its not really that heavy.  The author presents the theories in his books in a very basic "down to earth" way which makes the concepts easy to understand even for the layman.  Together with a suspenseful riveting plot and characters you get to like the books force us to ask questions about our existence as humankind and where we're going in the future as well as where we've come from. His writing style is similar to that of Sir Arthur C Clarke (2001: a space odyssey).  I would reccomend that you do not read these books while tired because some concepts take some thinking to get your head around but ive read the first novel and am half way through the second and I am very much enjoying myself.  I am wondering if anyone else has read any of these books?

I have not read them, but they sound right up my alley!  Hopefully, I will find time to read something more in the next few weeks.  Right now, I'm all booked up.

Thank you VERY much for the recommendation, though.  They're on my list to check out.
