Humanity is overrated.
Adrian Tchaikovsky's critically acclaimed Children of Time - an epic story of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet.
Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Novel.
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. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?
Continue the journey with Children of Ruin and Children of Memory.
