Please don’t tread further if you don’t want to know. But before you progress further be aware that Ultima is a sequel to Proxima, it relies on you knowing what happened before and the review will make a similar assumption. It wasn’t all bluebells and butterflies, there were challenges too. Everything was dropped, including food consumption, and I barely did anything else last weekend except lap it up. Fortunately, I managed to get my greedy mitts on an early copy last week in the local bookshop. A year and two months have gone by and I’ve not been patient but today (27 November) Ultima is published. On finishing it, a state that had me in a muddy pool of tears, I discovered that there was to be a follow up, just the one, and it would be called Ultima. Without doubt, Proxima was my favourite book of 2013, despite the heated competition. For me, last year, it was Proxima by Stephen Baxter. Every so often, and when I say often I mean rather rarely, a book comes along that grabs your imagination, wrings out your heart, wrestles with your brain and just won’t let go.
