'Children of Time is a joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human.' - Patrick Ness

Winner of the 30th anniversary Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Novel

Adrian Tchaikovksy's critically acclaimed, stand-alone novel Children of Time, is the epic story of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet.

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?

Uma epopéia de ficção científica

Belíssimo livro! Como fã de sci-fi é impossível não se apaixonar pela obra. O autor criou uma trama complexa, que atravessa centenas de anos enquanto explora a evolução de uma espécie e a busca pela sobrevivencia de outra.

Children of Time não é uma leitura fácil, mas a minúcia de sua construção de mundo e a complexidade de seua peesonagens são dois pilares sólidos para um livro que se aproxima vertiginosamente de ser uma obra prima da Hard Sci-fi.
