RESPLENDENT is a collection of stories that encompasses mankind's epic fight for survival against the Xeelee, a narrative of how man will change and evolve over our epic journey out into the universe. These tales will encompass the rise of sub-molecular empires in the first nanoseconds after the Big Bang to mankind's final transformation. Full of cutting-edge science, descriptions of time and space on a mind-boggling scale and memorable, all-too-human characters. It is both the capstone to one of the most significant series in the history of SF and a remarkable achievement in its own right. This is a mature and uniquely talented writer at the height of his powers.… (más)

Good collection of short stories that fill in some gaps in the Xeelee sequence. (

I enjoyed this book. A collection of short stories that spans much of the universe Baxter has developed (in time and in location). I like this way of interacting with a known universe, and could have read dozens more of these stories.

I can't say that the "ending" was satisfactory, though. An unfortunate side effect of this style, perhaps. Even so, this book almost stands alone and was a fun read. (

It took me awhile to connect with this book. But after it did, I really found it excellent. It is a series of short stories crossing a truly epic tale on a grade scale of space and time. (

My favourite book! A collection of short fiction that explores the width and depth of the author's Xeelee Sequence. As individual stories (considered independently of the Xeelee context), some are good, some excellent, and some merely okay. What makes me re-read this book is the breathtaking scale of Baxter's vision.

I have been reading science fiction for several decades now. Of the hundreds of books and magazines I must have read, none conveys as much sense of wonder as Resplendent.

For maximum effect, I recommend reading some of the novels from the Xeelee Sequence and/or Destiny's Children series first. (

This collection of short stories is an unnecessary appendix to an unneeded series. The Xeelee universe has been the stage for some truly great and re-readable novels, and with Coalescent Baxter proved himself still capable of producing interesting new ideas and writing a good story to explore them - but tying Coalescent into the Xeelee arc was unnecessary and contrived. The rest of the Destiny's Children 'series' is plodding and poorly written (rather like Clarke in his later years), and this book in particular feels like the last dust of a mined-out seam. (
