Environmental damage, political drift, and an atmosphere of managed decline have made the future feel smaller, more defensive. Reid Malenfant refuses that shrinking vision. He is blunt, difficult, and driven by a conviction that humanity must push outward — not for adventure, but to remain viable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaxter places Malenfant’s ambition against systems that move slowly and resist change: governments, institutions, public fear, the inertia of ordinary life. Yet beyond all of that is the harder truth the novel keeps returning to — that time itself is not generous, and the universe is not arranged for human comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e is rigorous without being cold. It threads big scientific speculation through very human stubbornness and impatience, and it is at its most striking when it lets scale do the unsettling work — years, generations, whole futures implied rather than neatly explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA demanding, clear-eyed beginning to a trilogy that thinks in decades and consequences, not quick consolations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📘 \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e♻️ \u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003cbr\u003e✍️ \u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stephen Baxter\u003cbr\u003e📄 \u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0);\"\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrowse our\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0);\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sci-fi-books\" title=\"Science Fiction Books Collection\"\u003eScience Fiction Collection. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eSecure checkout\u003c\/strong\u003e 💳 \u003cstrong\u003eMultiple payment options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 4px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e🇬🇧 \u003cstrong\u003eUK-based support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e👉 \u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003ca style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"Delivery Times\" href=\"\/policies\/shipping-policy\"\u003eSee Delivery Times\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e👉 \u003ca title=\"Refund and Returns Policy\" href=\"\/policies\/refund-policy\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSee Refund\/Returns Policy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAffordable UK Bookstore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eGot a question, request, or just want to say hello?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eSee our \u003ca title=\"Contact Page\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact Page\u003c\/a\u003e or visit the menu above for more ways to get in touch.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe’d love to hear from you at \u003cstrong\u003eTAWPublishing.co.uk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e📦 \u003cstrong\u003eAll orders are carefully packed and dispatched from our UK base.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e 🇬🇧 \u003cem\u003eBased in the UK, we provide fast UK delivery, international shipping, and deliver to readers across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all English-speaking countries.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" title=\"Read about Stephen Baxter\" href=\"\/blogs\/tawpublishing-co-uk-book-blog\/stephen-baxter\"\u003eRead about Stephen Baxter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/time-travel\" title=\"Explore time travel\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eExplore time travel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAWPublishing.co.uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56516606755148,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/9852\/2444\/files\/time-paperback.jpg?v=1768783910","url":"https:\/\/tawpublishing.co.uk\/products\/time-paperback","provider":"TAWPublishing.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
