Xeelee Sequence
Encyclopedia : X : XE : XEE : Xeelee Sequence
The Xeelee Sequence is a series of novels and short stories by British science fiction author Stephen Baxter. The novels span several billons of years , describing the future expansion of Mankind, its war with its arch-nemesis (an alien race called the Xeelee), and the Xeelee's own war with dark matter entities called photino birds. Several novels also deal with humans living in extreme conditions, such as the heart of a neutron star (Flux) or a universe with considerably stronger gravity (Raft).
Baxter's Destiny's Children series is considered to be a part of this series.
The novels, in chronological order (not publication order) are:
- Coalescent
- Transcendent (Michael Poole's segment)
- Timelike Infinity
- Ring (before Great Northern launches)
- Reality Dust
- Riding the Rock
- Exultant
- Transcendent (Alia's segment)
- Raft
- Flux
- Ring (after Great Northern returns)
Additionally, many of the short stories related to this cycle are collected into the collection Vacuum Diagrams.
