<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Planets like Proxima Centauri could be habitable and could mean the never-ending existence of humanity, but first it must be colonized and no one wants to be a settler. Since there is no glamor, only hardship, loneliness, emptiness, criminals like Yuri are dropped off and left to fend for themselves and settle the planet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Stephen Baxter has been heralded, with some merit, as Arthur C. Clarke's literary heir, and <i>Proxima</i> certainly reinforces this accolade in spades."</b>--<i>Concatenation</i> <p/>Mankind's future in this galaxy could be all but infinite. <p/>There are hundreds of billions of red dwarf stars, lasting trillions of years--and their planets can be habitable for humans. Such is the world of Proxima Centauri. And its promise could mean the never-ending existence of humanity. <p/>But first it must be colonized, and no one wants to be a settler. There is no glamor that accompanies it, nor is there the ease of becoming a citizen of an already-tamed world. There is only hardship...loneliness...emptiness, even as war brews in the solar system. <p/>But that's where Yuri comes in. Because sometimes exploration isn't voluntary. It must be coerced.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Monumental."--National Space Society <p/>"An epic of interstellar pioneering and solar-system expansion."--<i>Locus</i> <p/>"[<i>Proxima</i>] is quite simply breathtaking."--SFBook.com <p/>"Riveting."--<i>Fantasy Book Review</i> <p/>"Terrifically imagined and addictively compelling."--<i>Daily Mail</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephen Baxter</b> is the national bestselling author of <i>Ark</i> and <i>Flood</i>.
