"Time" focuses on one of these universes and humanity's near future exploration and manipulation of the universe and the basic principles underlying it while dealing with the seemingly inevitable doomsday scenario inherent in the supposition that if the humans alive today are in a random place in the whole human history timeline, chances are we are about halfway through it. The Manifold in the titles refers to the concept of multiple universes and divergent timestreams. I've recently finished reading Stephen Baxter's "Manifold: Time" (available as a free e-book from ) and "Manifold: Space" and they have inspired fresh thoughts about what humanity's place in the universe might be. Fate of humanity, galactic evolution, manifold space, manifold time, stephen baxter Nate’s character had multiple layers, the broody businessman, the protective father, and the alpha partner, but he is complex in so many other ways you only understand once you’ve been inside his head. But she didn’t count on Nate and all of his family standing strong and fighting back, or for her to start questioning her own life and future. Quincey gave up everything to care for Nova after her sister Valerie did, and now her own father Duke is telling her she needs to make sure Nova remains hers. When a woman comes up to him in a bar, telling him he’s a father and asks him to sign his rights away there and then, his whole world is turned upside down, and he knows he’s about to have the fight of his life to have the little girl in his life. Nate is living his bachelor life, travelling the country for work, but when he arrives in Seattle, he begins to feel a bit restless. Nate had intrigued me since reading Fallen Crest in 2014, so I knew his book was going to be a good one, and I was right. You’ve had hints of these characters in the Crew series, but seeing Nate, Mason, Logan, and Sam again made me so happy, it felt like I was returning home to old friends. I adore her standalones, but I didn’t quite realise how happy I would be returning to the Fallen Crest world so fully as you do in Nate. Tijan’s books are some of my favourites, and I will say it time and time again. He took us an hour out of the city to a private airstrip in the middle of a field. But when the car from Mum's new company came to pick us up, our driver said there'd been a change of plans. We were supposed to be taking off from Sydney Airport at 2 p.m. So when we flew out to Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, it never really entered my head that I might be triggering a countdown to the destruction of the human race, or that I'd be the one who had to try to stop it. But if I had, I would've thought it was pretty safe to assume that saving the planet would be someone else's job. Not that I used to spend much time thinking about that kind of stuff. The end of the world is one of those things that you never really expect to end up being your problem.
