A thrilling far-future space adventure from this Arthur C. Clarke award-winning author. If you loved Children of Time, this will be the perfect next read.
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.
If Homer had written space opera . . . Enthralling, epic, immersive
and hugely intelligent. This might be Tchaikovsky's best so far,
and that's saying something
*Stephen Baxter*
Adrian Tchaikovsky: king of the spiders, master worldbuilder, and
asker of intriguing questions. His books are packed with
thought-provoking ideas (as well as lots of spiders; did I mention
the spiders?). One of the most interesting and accomplished writers
in speculative fiction
*Christopher Paolini*
He writes incredibly enjoyable sci-fi, full of life and ideas
*Patrick Ness*
A thoughtful, sweeping space adventure
*SFX Magazine*
A rip-roaring space opera featuring starship battles, genetically
enhanced superhumans and multiple weird and wonderful aliens . . .
I can't wait to read the next one
*New Scientist*
Adrian Tchaikovsky turns the HP Lovecraft dial to 11 as the Vulture
God and its mismatched crew (Idris, a Hannilambra alien, a Partheni
warrior princess, a lawyer . . .) drop into unspace and (obligatory
caps lock here) CONFRONT FORCES BEYOND REALITY
*The Times, Best Science Fiction Books 2021*
Tchaikovsky has consolidated his position as the finest purveyor of
high-quality space opera around . . . [Shards of Earth] is deft and
clever, expansive and readable, all informed by Tchaikovsky’s
superbly baroque imaginative fecundity
*Guardian, Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books 2021*
Full of sparking, speculative invention . . . The Doors of Eden is
a terrific time-slip/lost world romp in the grand tradition of
Turtledove, Hoyle, even Conan Doyle. If you liked Primeval, read
this book
*Stephen Baxter on The Doors of Eden*
The Doors of Eden shows a combination of tight, evocative prose
combined with erudition. In a story whose scope is the broad canvas
of the history of all life in the universe, Tchaikovsky manages to
zoom in on human moments without breaking a sweat. Inventive, funny
and engrossing, this book lingers long after you close it
*Tade Thompson on The Doors of Eden*
Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our
finest writers
*Gareth Powell on Children of Ruin*
Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building
*James McAvoy on Children of Time*
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, on Children of
Time*
