Description

Raft is a highly acclaimed science fiction novel by Stephen Baxter. In this gripping tale, a spaceship from Earth accidentally crosses through a hole in space-time to a universe with gravity one billion times stronger than our own. The crew survives, aided by emerging into a cloud of gas surrounding a black hole, which provides a breathable atmosphere. Five hundred years later, their descendants struggle for existence, divided between the Miners and those who live on the Raft, a structure built from the wreckage of the ship. Rees, a curious Miner, stows away on a flying tree carrying trade between the Belt and the Raft, where he discovers something that will change his world forever. This is the first novel in Baxter's Xeelee Sequence, now part of the SF Masterwork series.
