A race for survival among the stars... Humanity's last survivors escaped earth's ruins to find a new home. But when they find it, can their desperation overcome its dangers?
Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire before heading off to Reading to study psychology and zoology. For reasons unclear even to himself he subsequently ended up in law and has worked as a legal executive in both Reading and Leeds, where he now lives. Married, he is a keen live role-player and occasional amateur actor, has trained in stage-fighting, and keeps no exotic or dangerous pets of any kind, possibly excepting his son.
Brilliant science fiction and far out world building.
*James McAvoy*
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*
Has a fabulous sense of scale that only someone as talented as
Adrian Tchaikovsky can pull off . . . Very much recommended.
*Peter F. Hamilton, author of Salvation and Exodus: The
Archimedes Engine*
This is superior stuff, tackling big themes - gods, messiahs,
artificial intelligence, alienness - with brio
*Financial Times*
I cannot recommend it enough. It's a helluva first contact story,
and that's only like its 5th most interesting feature!
*Ezra Klein, New York Times columnist*
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 Proxima, on Children of
Ruin*
One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative
fiction
*Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of
Stars*
No one has an imagination like Adrian Tchaikovsky
*Jim Al-Khalili, presenter of BBC Radio 4's The Life
Scientific*
I swear the man is some kind of genius
*Peter Watts, author of Blindsight*
Tchaikovsky is the break-out star of contemporary British SF
*The Guardian*
A huge talent, writing at the peak of his powers
*New Scientist*
