Terrible Worlds
Autor Adrian Tchaikovskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mai 2023
Scions, sonko, landlords: whatever you call them, they're the super rich, the princes of capitalism, living off the labour – and the deaths – of the swarming masses and all too happy to see the world burn to preserve their luxurious lives.
In three critically-acclaimed novellas, the "British master of science fiction" (Tor.com) takes you down into the mud and horror of a future battlefield, into the dust and burning heat of a scorched equator, into the grinding poverty of a newly-feudal village, with the folk who give their lives every day in the service of undeserving masters... and sows the seed of revolution.
Collecting Tchaikovsky's critically acclaimed novellas Ironclads (2017), Firewalkers (2020) and Ogres (2022) for the first time, Terrible Worlds: Revolutions gives you three glimpses of hope for a better future.

Recenzii
“Hilarious, unsettling, and horrifying in equal measure.” —Grimdark Magazine on Walking to Aldebaran
“As funny as it is thought-provoking.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on One Day All This Will Be Yours
“For anyone who enjoyed Lev Grossman’s The Magicians or Seanan McGuire’s Every Heart a Doorway and who understands that the worlds next to ours may be filled with darkness.”—Library Journal on And Put Away Childish Things
“Tchaikovsky’s producing some of the best and most thought-provoking novellas out there today.” —At Boundary’s Edge on Walking to Aldebaran
“A richly original and humorous must-read for genre newbies and die-hard sci-fi fans alike.” —Starburst on One Day All This Will Be Yours
“Unsettling and undeniably alien… this one will creep into your mind long afterwards.” —Run Along the Shelves on Walking to Aldebaran
“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.” —Literary Illuminati on And Put Away Childish Things
“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.” —Fantasy Hive on Walking to Aldebaran
“Tchaikovsky delivers a comical and riotous account of what fun can be had when you’re a sociopathic lone survivor with a time machine.” —SciFiNow on One Day All This Will Be Yours
“Funny, exciting, creepy and most of all humane… A smart novel exploring our own world and reactions using fantasy.” —Run Along the Shelves on And Put Away Childish Things
“Unsettling and creepy… Tchaikovsky shows us yet again how versatile are his writing and storytelling.” —Civilian Reader on Walking to Aldebaran
“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.” —Aurealis on One Day All This Will Be Yours
“Humour accentuates the serious themes: appreciating life and finding its meaning, seeing and fulfilling your purpose.” —British Fantasy Society on And Put Away Childish Things
“Sly and even occasionally laugh-out-loud hilarious, for all that it’s creepy and deranged. Be warned, some of its darkness will linger.” —Geekly Inc. on Walking to Aldebaran
“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.” —Fantasy Hive on One Day All This Will Be Yours
“Come for the quirky fantasy world and hijinks, stay for the examination of the purpose (both good and bad) of family.” —The Fantasy Review on And Put Away Childish Things
“A fine example of why Adrian Tchaikovsky is becoming such a force in science fiction.” —Grimdark Magazine on Walking to Aldebaran
“A thoroughly entertaining smorgasbord of historical figures, time-traveller culls, advanced technology-fuelled spats, and Allosaurus petting.” —FanFiAddict on One Day All This Will Be Yours
“Combines middle-grade tropes, horror, humour, and excellent twists. It’s impressive how much he packed in.” —Fantasy Book Critic on And Put Away Childish Things
