Reviews
"Children of Time has that essence of the classic science fiction novels, that sense of wonder and unfettered imagination but combined with this is the charm of a writer who really knows how to entertain, how to spin a good story. Essential science fiction, a book not to be missed." -- SF Book, "Like a Stephen Baxter novel with an epic sweep of history (see his Evolution , for example), added to a broad cast of a Peter Hamilton Space Opera and the narrative drive of, say, a David Brin or a Greg Bear old style SF novel, Children of Time soon got me hooked."-- SFF World, "The novel's clever interrogation of the usual narrative of planetary conquest, and its thoughtful depiction of two alien civilisations attempting to understand each other, is an exemplar of classic widescreen science fiction."-- New Scientist, "Tchaikovsky's prose is superb, and his world-building was exceptional, brilliantly realized on the page, and both fascinating and original." -- Civilian Reader, "A refreshingly new take on post-dystopia civilizations, with the smartest evolutionary worldbuilding you'll ever read" -- Peter F Hamilton, "Tchaikovsky's prose is superb, and his world-building was exceptional, brilliantly realized on the page, and both fascinating and original."-- Civilian Reader, "The novel's clever interrogation of the usual narrative of planetary conquest, and its thoughtful depiction of two alien civilisations attempting to understand each other, is an exemplar of classic widescreen science fiction." -- New Scientist, "This is superior stuff, tackling big themes - gods, messiahs, artificial intelligence, alienness - with brio."-- Financial Times, "This is superior stuff, tackling big themes - gods, messiahs, artificial intelligence, alienness - with brio." -- Financial Times, "Children of Time is a joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human."-- Patrick Ness

Synopsis
Adrian Tchaikovksy's Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novel Children of Time is the epic story of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet. Who will inherit this new Earth? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age -- a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive.
