Stephen Baxter's bestselling novels, Flood and Ark (ROC, 2009 and 2010) introduced a universe in which a handful of refugees in a primitive starship flee a drowning Earth. In the duology we see the refugees reach colony worlds they call Earth II and Earth III. The three novellas in Landfall answer the frequently asked question, "What happened next?" The final piece, "Earth I," is original to this collection, a trio of  stories that continue Baxter's masterful world-building.
