The Massacre of Mankind [audiobook]
ON ONE HAND THIS IS A STEVEN BAXTER SEQUEL TO THE WAR OF THE WORLDS AND IT'S REALLY GOOD AND WELL WRITTEN. ON THE OTHER HAND IT'S A CONCEPTUAL SEQUEL TO 'THE TIME SHIPS' WHICH WAS THE STUPIDEST BOOK EVER AND WAS GREAT BECAUSE OF IT AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE I KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. I LIKE THAT THIS BOOK WAS ACTUALLY WELL DONE AND GOOD BUT I ALMOST WANTED THE STEVEN BAXTER BRAND ON THESE TO ALWAYS MAKE THEM STUPID AND I WONDER IF HE DECIDED TO WRITE THIS ONE CORRECTLY OR IF SOMEONE FORCED HIM TO BE CORRECTLY. PS. THIS HAD A SLIGHT ELEMENT OF JUST ACCEPTING ALL THE DUMB SCIENCE FROM THE ORIGINAL AS BEING RIGHT BUT STILL WRITING EVERYTHING AS HARD SCIFI AND I ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE *THAT* TO BE THE GIMMICK IF THERE IS A THIRD ONE OF THESE. WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT'D WORK PERFECT FOR THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU
