Children of Ruin
De (autor) Adrian Tchaikovskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 May 2019
Thousands
of
years
ago,
Earth's
terraforming
program
took
to
the
stars.
On
the
world
they
called
Nod,
scientists
discovered
alien
life
-
but
it
was
their
mission
to
overwrite
it
with
the
memory
of
Earth.
Then
humanity's
great
empire
fell,
and
the
program's
decisions
were
lost
to
time.
Aeons
later,
humanity
and
its
new
spider
allies
detected
fragmentary
radio
signals
between
the
stars.
They
dispatched
an
exploration
vessel,
hoping
to
find
cousins
from
old
Earth.
But
those
ancient
terraformers
woke
something
on
Nod
better
left
undisturbed.
And
it's
been
waiting
for
them.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Victor Tanasa a dat nota:
I'm conflicted. If this was a standalone, it would get 5*. As a sequel to Children of Time, it's closer to 4*. As I don't like to spoil the plot in reviews, I only want to say that the only thing "wrong" with this book is that it's not as surprising / innovating as the first one and shares a bit too much with it. Otherwise, it has a lot packed in those 550 pages and it really is a great read.

Recenzii
"Children
of
Time
is
a
joy
from
start
to
finish.
Entertaining,
smart,
surprising
and
unexpectedly
human."—Patrick
Ness
"Brilliant science fiction and far out world building."—James McAvoy on Children of Time
"A refreshingly new take on post-dystopia civilizations, with the smartest evolutionary worldbuilding you'll ever read."
—Peter F Hamilton on Children of Time
"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 on Children of Time
"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 on Children of Time
"An entertaining and thought provoking novel of post humanity, survival and legacy."—SF Signal on Children of Time
"Tchaikovsky's prose is superb, and his world building was exceptional, brilliantly realized on the page, and both fascinating and original."—Civilian Reader on Children of Time

"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."

"This
is
superior
stuff,
tackling
big
themes
-
gods,
messiahs,
artificial
intelligence,
alienness
-
with
brio."
