the Northland Trilogy by Stephen Baxter

hi Guys I got a book from the library today, called Iron Winter. I have read quite a few novels by Baxter and I like him. I didnt realise the book I took out is the final novel in the trilogy, should I hold off on reading this one till I have read the preceding two novels?

thanks. If you have read all books, how would you rate it, would you recommend the trilogy?

Nearly bought this the other day. Big fan of Baxter so I'd be confident it's a solid trilogy. I read Flood and Ark last year and really enjoyed them.

DEFINITELY don't read that third book until you've read the first one.

thanks Dadres.
I also read and REALLY enjoyed Flood and Ark, in fact, I was tempted to try to contact the author to see if he had any plans to write a 3rd book in that series....
OK I will hold off on reading Iron Winter and try to read the other first.
thanks!
