This four-book set gathers Adrian Tchaikovsky's celebrated Children of Time saga: Children of Time, Children of Ruin, Children of Memory and Children of Strife. Spanning collapsed empires, terraformed worlds and uploaded minds, the sequence follows humanity's last survivors as they collide with radically different forms of intelligence across deep time. Award-winning and widely praised for its ambitious scope, the series rewards readers who enjoy hard science fiction built on evolution, first contact and civilisation-building among the stars.. About the Book(s):. Children of Time follows the last human survivors as they reach a planet terraformed for life, only to find it already home to an uplifted spider civilisation shaped by an experiment gone awry, setting up a tense contest over who inherits the world. Children of Ruin sends a mixed human-and-spider expedition to the ocean world of Nod, where they awaken a long-dormant alien intelligence and reckon with an earlier terraforming project gone badly wrong. Children of Memory moves to the fragile colony of Imir, where failing crops and half-remembered histories suggest something from the old terraforming programs never really left. Children of Strife, the newest addition to the sequence, reunites surviving crew across a fresh ark-ship mystery, bringing first contact and the nature of intelligence back into focus. Read in order, the four books build one continuous story of evolution, inheritance and the strange forms life can take when given enough time and enough worlds.. Key Benefits:. Collects all four novels currently published in the acclaimed Children of Time sequence. Explores first contact, uplift and evolved intelligence
