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.

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.

He's heading for the Red Moon, where time and space converge, the origin of the manifold. Few writers can combine mind-bending scientific speculation with breathtaking adventure like award-winning author Stephen Baxter. His 'Manifold' series brings together in spellbinding fiction some of the most advanced ideas in cosmology today. 'Origin' is both the culmination of the series and a spectacular story of the many universes we inhabit:- Review(s): "Baxter's work reminds us all what science fiction is truly about" - Greg Bear / "Baxter is taking basic sf ideas and rebuilding them based on current science, technology and politics - a tried and true method of sf writers but no less effective for that. Baxter apparently has the ambition and the energy to reinvigorate hard sf all by himself" - Locus / "The most awesome ideas in science fiction today" - The Times:- (original cost £16.99).
