Unlike esh, I enjoyed Manifold Space quite a lot too. Perhaps the key is to wait a few years so you've completely forgotten the plot of Manifold Time before starting the sequel. (via esh)

My imagination was sparked by "Manifold: Time" but when I tried to read Baxter's "Manifold: Space" and "Manifold: Origins" I must admit that I started to lose interest. I don't even remember if I was able to finish the sequels.
