About This Book

A new entry in the wildly successful Children of Time series from award-winning master of science fiction Adrian Tchaikovsky.

In this epic adventure, we visit a far-future after Earth fell, where ark ships had hunted for a new home. They sought lost worlds terraformed in earth's forgotten past. We follow a ship crewed by maverick humans, spiders and a spectacularly punchy mantis shrimp captain as they rediscover one such world, and an ark.

Then human crewmate Alis wakes to discover that she, her captain and the ship's intelligence are the only ones left on their ship. But what happened to those who left to explore the ark . . . and the world below?

Children of Strife is the extraordinary next volume set in the Children of Time universe, featuring epic adventure, first contact and the nature of intelligence among the stars.
