Children of Memory

They dreamed of a new home. They woke to a nightmare. A far-reaching space opera spanning generations, species and galaxies by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky. On Imir, Captain Holt founded a hopeful new colony on an empty world. But generations later, his descendants are struggling to survive. As harvests worsen and equipment fails, strangers appear in a town where everyone knows their neighbour. Now the community fears that it's being observed – that they’re not alone. And they'd be right. Explorers from the stars have come in secret, to help. Confident of their superior technology, they begin to study their long-lost cousins from Earth. Yet the visitors aren't the only watchers. When the starfarers discover the scale of their mistake, it will be far too late to escape. Children of Memory is the unmissable follow-up space opera to the highly acclaimed Children of Time and Children of Ruin. Continue the journey with Children of Strife. * * * Praise for the series: ‘Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building’ – James McAvoy ‘Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human’ – Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls ‘A fabulous sense of scale that only someone as talented as Adrian Tchaikovsky can pull off’ – Peter F.
