This recently made it to a nearby bookshop: Time's Eye by Arthur C. Clarke & Stephen Baxter. It's book one of a porjected duologo called A Time Odyssey. The edition here is the Uk hardback - expensive, but presumably good value as it includes a CD-ROM containing interviews and a few of Baxter's novels as e-books.

Now, Clarke is a strong favourite, and Baxter is a fine SF writer too. However, my impression of Clarke's later collaborative works is that they are not among his best. Of course, this package is certainly attractive. But, it's the quality of the story that will count, and the information on the publisher's site seems interesting enough, but if anyone here has read this book, I would like to hear an assessment.
