Description:

### Review "Baxter's' portrayal of occupation, which mixes dreary monotony and sullen resentment with staccato bursts of violence, is all too horribly convincing. Impressive stuff." -- Jonathan Wright FOCUS "Baxter's picture of occupied England [is] horribly believable." -- Jonathan Wright SFX "Weaver is arguably the strongest book in a series that has systematically improved with every volume. Weaver is an interesting and worthy companion piece to Jo Walton's Farthing and Ha'penny, albeit with very different takes on some of the same material. Indeed, by taking on a German invasion of Britain, Baxter shows his willingness to take on counterfactual history's most popular setting and make it his own." STRANGE HORIZONS "Weaver is not only a thrilling culmination of the series, but a satisfying novel in its own right. Baxter's real triumph is in presenting a detailed account of occupied England and convincing psychological portraits to the individuals caught up in the nightmare." -- Eric Brown THE GUARDIAN "You've got to hand it to Stephen Baxter... he manages to find a new seam within the much mined-ore of Nazi-occupied Britain." -- Anthony Brown STARBURST "'What if' scenarios centred around WWII are certainly nothing new, but rarely have they been done with such deftness as in 'Weaver'. Plenty of well defined characters lend a human touch to the tale. Recommended." -- Dean Mortlock DEATHRAY "Weaver is a forceful, well-reasoned conclusion to one of SF's most ambitious interactions yet with the laws and potentials of history."
