(Drivebycuriosity) - Maybe some day humans will colonize the universe and will turn other planets in habitable places (terraforming). The novel "Children of Ruin" by
Adrian Tchaikovsky follows some humans who try to create a new home far away from earth (
amazon ). The plot continues Tchaikovsky`s first scifi novel "Children of Time" but it can also be read as a standalone book (but having read the first certainly helps. Here my
review). Both books are real (hard) science fiction. Like Isaac Asimov & Arthur C. Clark, Tchaikovsky uses science and shapes it into fascinating tales.
The author, who has studied studied zoology and psychology, weaves a complex &
fascinating plot based on logic, biology, evolution & technology spiced with a lot of philosophical musings . He focuses on 3 different species, who try to communicate to solve conflicts and to face a common danger (this is a spoiler free blog). The reader is - together with the characters of the book -"going on a mind-bending adventure".
Highly recommended!
