The remnants of humanity, fleeing a desolate Earth, stumble upon an engineered paradise, poised for new life. But this future is not the untainted sanctuary they had hoped for. Time has unleashed unintended consequences, and another form of intelligence now vies for dominance on this reborn world. Survival becomes a precarious game as two disparate species clash, question morality, and ultimately decide the rightful inheritors of this terraformed treasure. In 'Children of Time,' Adrian Tchaikovsky crafts a breathtaking saga that ponders evolution, advancement, and the true essence of being human as a new chapter for Earth's children unfolds amongst the stars.
