The Reference Library - Current Issueby Don Sakers. One of the biggest drawbacks of science fiction books is that eventually, they end. This is one of the reasons we have so many series books: once readers feel comfortable with an invented universe and its characters, we want more. Often, authors accede to readers’ desires and write additional books in a popular universe. Sometimes, they continue writing more and more until readers have had enough.
Sometimes long after that point. They give various justifications for not revisiting their popular worlds: there’s not enough time, I’m tired of that universe, I don’t have anything new to say, I have other things I want to write, I’ve been dead for twenty years—whatever the selfish reason, it’s clear we’re not going to get what we want from that author. So we have to turn to others. I’ve been unable to find a simple term for “sequels written by a different author,” so let’s make up some words. If an author writes their own sequel, let’s call that an “auto- sequel.” A sequel written by someone else would then be an “allo- sequel.”Some readers step in and write their own stories in familiar universes. This is fan fiction (aka fanfic), and the internet is filled with billions of words of it.
If you’re interested in fan fiction, start at www. In some cases, an author (or their estate) authorizes someone else to write allo- sequels. This theme has several variations: an author’s literary heir might simply continue a series, the author might franchise part or all of their universe, or someone could edit a tribute anthology featuring short fiction. In extreme cases, another author might jump in without permission and produce an unauthorized allo- sequel (or more than one).
This one can be tricky, because authors and their heirs tend to be somewhat possessive of copyright, and one could wind up in court. In classical and medieval times, and even into the modern era, scholars didn’t just write sequels or commentaries on well- known books—they even used the original author’s name.

The 1. 93. 8 Orson Welles radio adaptation is legend; multiple other audio versions include no less than three BBC productions. There have been two major films (the 1. George Pal version and the 2. Steven Spielberg effort) and a slew of minor ones (two more in 2. We’ve seen television series, comic book adaptations, games (both board and computer), theater, music albums, and even a set of trading cards.
There’s good reason for this fascination: Great- Grandpappy Herbert George knew exactly what he was doing. The War of the Worlds expresses one of the basic nightmares of Western Civilization: that somebody stronger is going to come along and treat us the way we’ve treated those weaker than us. Every generation, it seems, has to struggle with the story; we need to triumph over it, to prove that we can negate its power over us. Now comes Stephen Baxter with another sequel, and this one is actually authorized by the Wells estate. Although to be fair, the British publisher announced the book in December 2. British copyright on the original expired at the end of December 2. British edition was released two weeks later—so it’s not like the Wells estate really had any say in the matter.
Still, “the first ever authorized sequel” makes a good marketing line, so there it is. Fortunately, Stephen Baxter is a great choice for this particular project, and the book’s almost worthy of the hype. Baxter, of course, is one of the leading hard- SF writers in the world. He’s no stranger to Wells: his 1. The Time Ships was a sequel to The Time Machine. In addition to his own work, he’s co- authored books with Arthur C.
Clarke and Terry Pratchett. Baxter’s a versatile writer, equally at home with prehistoric fiction as with modern space opera, the hardest of hard SF, alternate history, and parallel worlds. The Massacre of Mankind picks up twelve years after the first Martian invasion was defeated by Earth’s microbes. A shaken world has advanced technologically by studying the machines the Martians left behind; all over the globe, sentinels watch the skies and armies prepare for the next invasion. Journalist Julia Elphinstone, the sister- in- law of Walter Jenkins (the narrator of The War of the Worlds), is in New York when Walter calls with “grave news from the sky.” She boards the Lusitania for a quick voyage back to England. Then the Martians come.
And they haven’t been idle for the last dozen years. They strike England with vastly improved weapons; in the first assault, half the British Army is annihilated.
From here Julia is on the run through a war- torn world, trying to stay alive, report what she can, and help with planning a way to save the Human race. Baxter tells a good story, as exciting and suspenseful as the original.
He avoids falling into the trap of trying to mimic Wells’s style; the book reads easily and is a page- turner. For most of us, it’s probably been a while since we read the original The War of the Worlds; don’t let that stop you from diving into this new one. Baxter gives you all the information you need without slowing down the story at all. That being said, there’s plenty of details here to delight even the most ardent Wells fan.* * *The Gods of Sagittarius. Mike Resnick & Eric Flint. Baen, 3. 30 pages, $2.
