Children of Time: A new favorite sci-fi read!

- Children of Time is the first book of a trilogy from Adrian Tchaikovsky that won the Arthur C. Clarke award for Science Fiction in 2016. And, more importantly, joins the pantheon of all-time favourite sci-fi reads for me. The centuries fly by, but brace yourself for a millennia of spider content. A fantastic stand-alone read that I just devoured.

One of the reasons I tend to prefer fantasy over sci-fi is my science radar goes off too much.
I loved that Portia is an actual genius of jumping spider 😄
I listened to it a few years ago and while I liked it I never was interested in contiuning with the series. Listening to you now I think I forgot most of the story, it's the spiders that got stuck most :D
Too much working, sir.
Awesome! You’ve read it. Adrian is just great. Still haven’t gotten to it. Hopefully I can blaze through my TBR to read it before Christmas. Will let you know.
On my long list of books to read but I keep putting it off because: Spiders 🕷 😅. You’ve definitely put it backmon my radar
If you like alien stories , can I suggest to you Foreigner by C. J. Cherryh? its a currently 21 books with a 22 coming out in october and yes there is a whole bunch of them. so I would you suggest you to maybe check out ether options for E-books , audiobooks or maybe using Overdrive/Libby to be able to read this series without runnning out of space on a book shelf. also the first books is not really the best in the series so if you want to maybe skip to the 3 book that is an option.
I dnf’d at 22%, but this video makes me want to give it another try.
LOVED this book:
i loved this book! glad you're reviewing it
I love this book, I am so happy you found it!
I thought it was a trilogy as well, but in a recent interview on the channel ‘Steve Talks Books’ he mentioned he recently pitched book four, titled ‘Children of Strife’
There is a side plot that I wish the first book completed but it doesn’t complete until the half way point of the third book. The power and communication of music. On the ship music is censored and people forget the music of the past and make music for the present. The song Kashmir by Led Zeppelin is put on the chopping block on the ship meanwhile it becomes a battle cry for a tribe of Spiders. Rock N Roll music becomes a primary piece of their culture even though it is not played in the air. 5 different classic rock songs become universal in all species civilizations in the books.
I would hate to see your google image search history after you have edited a video. 😁
