Stephen Baxter recommends

Loophole (2023)
Ian Stewart
"When universes collide... A multicosmos at war in a scenario of staggering, but scientifically authentic, invention... As if the Marvel multiverse collided with 2001: A Space Odyssey... I am awed, and I don't awe easily. The highest of high-concept SF."

Under Fortunate Stars (2022)
Ren Hutchings
"If the Guardians of the Galaxy crashed the Foundation... A twisty, enthralling space-time opera. Fortunate readers, and a future star."

This Fragile Earth (2021)
Susannah Wise
"A very British disaster epic. Echoes of John Wyndham. Resonances for today."

The Unfinished Land (2021)
Greg Bear
"Set in the age of discovery, a tale of a very strange journey indeed--and a parable of the awakening of the mind of Mankind. As throughout his career, Bear continues to astonish and delight."

Phoenix Extravagant (2020)
Yoon Ha Lee
"Powerful. Unforgettable. This is another amazing piece of work, and I have the feeling I need to read it again to get it fully!"
