A review by mw2k
Transcendent by Stephen Baxter

3.0

80% of this book is fine material. The other 20% delves into turgid metaphysics. It is gratifying in a way to catch up with George Poole's descendants and family, to see where they are forty years on...and the far future character of Alia is pleasing too. It's when Baxter tries to emulate the Clarke-like mystical....well, it comes apart a little at the seams.
