His "Xeelee Sequence" stories come placed in a far first, in which individual beings come rising to get the 2nd virtually all mighty race in the universe, next to the god-prefer Xeelee. Character development within these stories will require 2nd place to the depiction of advanced theories & ideas, like trueness nature and severity of the Great Attractor, naked singularities and the outstanding battle between Baryonic and Photonic lifeforms. Examples of novels written inside this style: Ring, Timelike Infinity.

His present-contemporary Globe stories come great deal additional man, by having characters portrayed by owning greater depth & care. It often indulge around "if only" whimsy or even straight-out alternate history, dreaming about what humanity may achieve in the exploration of space. NASA features prominently, & much of search has apparently been done into its internal structuring & methods. Still, these novels have a good deal darker tone than any of his more stories & don't typically portray tremendously hope for humanity as a lesson metal money. Examples of novels written in that style include Voyage, winner of the Sidewise Award for Alternate History; Titan; and Moonseed.

Every novel of the Multiplex trilogy is center on the likely explanation of the Fermi paradox.

His "Evolution" stories come the late development & indicate an increasing interest in the evolution of humanity. These seem to develop their origins inside stories of his more literary genre, like Mammoth & Manifold: Origin. A novel Evolution is an example of this style.

Baxter as well covers many more styles: his Gigantic stories, apparently for youngsters, come typically of smashing delight to adults, when The Time Ships (an authorised sequel to The Time Machine) is generally taken to exist as one of his greatest novels. It won the John W. Campbell award, the BSFA Award, and was nominated for other major science fiction awards.
