#179 Walk like thunder: the mammoth trilogy (1999 - 2001) by Stephen Baxter
Episode 179
Thursday, 27 November, 2025

Published between 1999 and 2001, the Mammoth trilogy is a fascinating set of linked SF novels by Stephen Baxter. In reality, mammoths died out 4,000 years ago but Baxter imagines a different fate for them. Thoroughly researched and at times quite moving, these are fine examples of science fiction which does without major human characters, and has readers view the world through the eyes of a very different creature.Get in touch with a text message!For more classic SF reviews and discussion, visit andyjohnson.xyz.
