Reviews

'This is this year's great disaster novel' Daily Mirror 'You don't blow up the planet in the first reel unless you've got something really spectacular for the third. And Baxter does... in the end, MOONSEED is a terrific, full-featured apocalypse, with plenty of buttons to push for the techs and lots of lava.' Locus 'Gripping, well-researched and intelligent.'
