It alters not only the future but he "present" in which we live. <P> A century after the publication of H. G. Wells' immortal <I>The Time Machine</I>, Stephen Baxter, today's most acclaimed new "hard SF" author, and the acknowledged Clarke, returns to the distant conflict between the Eloi and the Morlocks in a story that is at once an exciting expansion, and a radical departure based on the astonishing new understandings of quantum physics.
