Sure I’ve read most of them. But there’s a half-dozen or so that I haven’t …

I’ve also only read one of the ‘Old Earth’ stories–’PeriAndry’s Quest’–but I like the setting a lot.

I’ll be curious to see the final book. I like his short fiction a lot, more than I like his novels to be honest.

Jonathan,

Destiny’s Children is a “subset” of Stephen Baxter’s “Xeelee” universe, and Baxter has one more Xeelee collection forthcoming: TALES OF OLD EARTH, which will gather all the recent stories that he has been publishing lately in Analog magazine:

1. PeriAndry’s Quest
2. Climbing the Blue
3. The Time Pit
4. The Lowland Expedition.

Obviously, it will be a few years, I think, before he is finished with this additional subset of “Xeelee,” but at least he’s still writing short fiction…

Haven’t you read most of the stories, though?

That’s it. I’m officially impatient.
