Vacuum Diagrams

Stephen Baxter · Voyager (HarperCollins UK) · 1997

The UK Voyager 1997 hardcover is the true first edition. The US HarperPrism trade paperback (January 1999) was the Philip K. Dick Award-eligible edition and won the award presented in 2000, but it followed the UK hardcover by about two years. This is a collection of linked Xeelee-sequence stories, not a novel.
