A wild ride!

5 stars

This is a terrific follow-up to Children of Time.

Adrian Tchaikovsky is great at writing characters that think differently from how you or I might think  but who you can still grow attached to.

Like all of the other books of his I've read, In this one, he managed to find four or five major science fiction ideas I've never come across before.

And this book has octopuses!


Imaginative scifi at it's best

5 stars

Tchaikovsky's Children Of Series focuses on the lifeforms left behind by mankind's self-destruction. The sentient spiders from Children of Time are back, and are exploring a solar system caught in a civil war. One of science fiction's strengths is being able to imagine other beings, and Tchaikovsky's depictions of their life and thoughts are excellent here as well.
