Query: Bad rehash of his earlier novels

Up front, let me confess I am a complete and utter fan of Sephen Baxter and his brilliant manipulation of the constants in our Universe. But. This would have to be THE most disappointing book I have ever read by Stephen Baxter (and I thought Titan was pretty bad with no loveable characters and a gruesome plot...). In Time, Baxter starts off Ok - bit of a mixture of Voyage and some of Xeelee stuff and then suddenly, half way through the book - BAM! Total Deja Vu as it degenerates into a basic rehash of some of his previous books from the Xeelee series (although he does take into account advances in our knowledge of the universe).If you are a first time reader of Stephen Baxter, read some of his earlier stuff like Moonseed, Flux, Ring, Raft, Voyage etc!
