They dreamed of a new home. They woke to a nightmare . . .
Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, and
headed off to university in Reading to study psychology and
zoology. For reasons unclear even to himself, he subsequently ended
up in law. Adrian has since worked as a legal executive in both
Reading and Leeds and now writes full time. He also lives in Leeds,
with his wife and son. Adrian is a keen live role-player and
occasional amateur actor. He has also trained in stage-fighting and
keeps no exotic or dangerous pets of any kind - possibly excepting
his son.
Adrian is the author of the critically acclaimed Shadows of the Apt
series, the Echoes of the Fall series and other novels, novellas
and short-stories. The Tiger and the Wolf won the British Fantasy
Award for Best Fantasy Novel - and Children of Time won the Arthur
C. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. This was in the
award's thirtieth anniversary year.
One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative
fiction
*Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of
Stars*
Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building
*James McAvoy on Children of Time*
Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our
finest writers
*Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War, on Children
of Ruin*
All underpinned by great ideas. And it is crisply modern - but with
the sensibility of classic science fiction. Asimov or Clarke might
have written this
*Stephen Baxter, author of Time and Proxima, on
Children of Ruin*
Children of Time is a joy from start to finish. Entertaining,
smart, surprising and unexpectedly human.
*Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls and the Chaos
Walking series, on Children of Time*
