Inhaltsangabe

Concluding the epic Manifold series that began with TIME and continued with SPACE: 2015. Astronaut Reid Malenfant is flying over the African continent, intent on examining a mysterious glowing construct in Earth’s orbit.

Award-winning author Stephen Baxter takes us to the heart of the Manifold with Origin, the third and final book in the series. At last the hidden resolution of the Fermi paradox is revealed in all its stunning significance.

What kind of power hangs a new moon in our sky? NASA astronaut Reid Malenfant is flying a military jet over Africa when a vast electric-blue circle appears in the air – and the Red Moon dramatically replaces our ancient, cherished moon. Malenfant's plane is destroyed as he chases the alien circle of light.

Though Malenfant survives, his wife Emma is swept up and hurled towards the Red Moon. Through the months of floods and earthquakes that follow Malenfant singlemindedly lobbies for a moonshot to rescue her.

He's heading for the Red Moon where time and space converge, the origin of the manifold.
