Autor Adrian Tchaikovsky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2026
* THREE DARK NOVELLAS BY THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CHILDREN OF TIME SERIES *'A must-read for genre newbies and die-hard sci-fi fans alike' - STARBURST'The worlds next to ours may be filled with darkness' - LIBRARY JOURNAL'Shows us yet again how versatile are his writing and storytelling' - CIVILIAN READERTHE FUTURE IS THE JOURNEY The vastness of space, the endless ribbon of time, worlds beyond our own: humanity has always been driven to explore, to pass the horizon and enter the unknown. For too many, that drive is what ultimately destroys us. In three critically-acclaimed novellas, the "British master of science fiction" (Reactor) takes you into a mysterious artefact at the edge of the Solar system, to the very last day of time, into a world apparently born of children's stories, with fearless - and sometimes hapless - explorers... and shows us why sometimes it's best to stay at home. Collecting Tchaikovsky's critically acclaimed novellas Walking to Aldebaran (2019), One Day All This Will Be Yours (2021) and And Put Away Childish Things (2023) for the first time, Terrible Worlds: Destinations gives you three glimpses of the limits of reality.

Recenzii

Tchaikovsky's producing some of the best and most thought-provoking novellas out there today.
A richly original and humorous must-read for genre newbies and die-hard sci-fi fans alike.
For anyone who understands that the worlds next to ours may be filled with darkness.
Unsettling and undeniably alien... this one will creep into your mind long afterwards.
Carefully probes the psychological pressure of being an agent lost among the shards of shattered time. As funny as it is thought-provoking.
Harry himself is an absolute delight as a main character. By which I mean he just sucks so bad, but in very mundane and endearing ways.
The story is by turns humorous and horrific, the scope of imagination on display is wonderful and I really didn't want to put this down.
Tchaikovsky delivers a comical and riotous account of what fun can be had when you're a sociopathic lone survivor with a time machine.
Funny, exciting, creepy and most of all humane... A smart novel exploring our own world and reactions using fantasy.
Unsettling and creepy... Tchaikovsky shows us yet again how versatile are his writing and storytelling.
The kind of story that hooks you, begging you to read one more chapter before bed, before work or in any spare moment you can find.
Humour accentuates the serious themes: appreciating life and finding its meaning, seeing and fulfilling your purpose.
Sly and even occasionally laugh-out-loud hilarious, for all that it's creepy and deranged. Be warned, some of its darkness will linger.
I had visions of Tchaikovsky manically laughing whilst writing certain scenes... I never knew I needed a story about a time travelling sociopath with a pet dinosaur in my life.
Come for the quirky fantasy world and hijinks, stay for the examination of the purpose (both good and bad) of family.
A fine example of why Adrian Tchaikovsky is becoming such a force in science fiction.
A thoroughly entertaining smorgasbord of historical figures, time-traveller culls, advanced technology-fuelled spats, and Allosaurus petting.
Combines middle-grade tropes, horror, humour, and excellent twists. It's impressive how much he packed in.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
They're the super rich, the princes of capitalism, living off the deaths of the swarming masses and all too happy to see the world burn. In three critically-acclaimed novellas, Tchaikovsky takes you down into the mud and dust and poverty... and sows the seed of revolution.
