Stephen Baxter with Ken MacLeod (2017 Event)

In the 1990s, Stephen Baxter won almost every award going for The
Time Ships – the sequel to H G Wells’s The Time Machine. In this
event, recorded live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book
Festival, he brings us his new book, The Massacre of Mankind,
also approved by Wells’s estate, which updates The War of the
Worlds, the most popular science fiction book on the planet. The
martians, it seems, may not be so vulnerable to our germs after
all. Baxter discusses his work with 2017 Guest Selector Ken
MacLeod.
