Sinossi
Anche gli ultimi umani sopravvissuti alla rovina della Terra stanno ormai fuggendo nel disperato tentativo di trovare una nuova casa tra le stelle. Seguendo le orme indicate molto tempo prima dai loro antenati, riescono a scoprire un pianeta apparentemente perfetto per ospitare vita umana. Ma la realtà sulla nuova Terra non si rivelerà così tranquilla e pacifica come avevano sperato... Nei lunghi anni trascorsi dal giorno del loro arrivo, il faticoso lavoro dei predecessori ha dato vita a frutti disastrosi e controproducenti, e il pianeta adesso è tutt'altro che incontaminato e ospitale. In più, l'incontro con una nuova specie aliena non farà altro che complicare i progetti iniziali degli umani... Lo scontro tra le due civiltà, in lotta per raggiungere lo stesso obiettivo, appare ormai imminente e inevitabile. E mentre il destino dell'intera umanità resta appeso a un filo sempre più sottile, una domanda risuona più minacciosa che mai: chi saranno gli eredi della nuova Terra? Un'avventura interstellare per la sopravvivenza. Due civiltà in rotta di collisione per decretare il destino del nuovo pianeta.

There's something wildly giddy welling up within me, and I blame it entirely on this book. There have been a couple of brilliant SF titles to come out this year and I would swear belong on the Hugo list, and this is yet one more.

I adore the first contact with aliens trope so when I heard this was essentially the remanent of humanity vs intelligent spiders I jumped on it. Very unique and the ending took me pleasantly by surprise. I never thought I would end up rooting for spiders... but I did! A must read!
Smart and imaginative, highly recommended for everyone who loves Sci-Fi and not recommended for anyone with arachnophobia. Children of Time is Adrian Tchaikovsky’s first Sci-Fi and also my first experience with his work. This is a highly praised book, it won Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Novel in 2 Leggi tutto
I received a review copy of Children of Time in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Adrian Tchaikovsky and Pan Macmillan for the opportunity. Children of Time is 600-pages of extraordinary, evolution-based science fiction that features quality storytelling and worldbuilding that is rarely se Leggi tutto
My top read of 2023! The Children of Time is a fantastic piece of science fiction that addresses ecological concerns and explores terraforming on alien worlds. It considers the problems of colonization, empire, and the destruction of the natural world. All in all, it’s the absolute pinnacle of th
Children of Time’ is one of those books one devours obsessively and then mourns once it’s finished. Yes, ‘Children of Time’ is that good. The author acknowledges our implicit arachnophobia and then very cleverly turns it on its head; indeed, after a while you kind of forget that these characters are Leggi tutto
Re-read and What can I say? I loved everything about it! I can't believe I had given it only 4.65 stars the first time around. It is a full 5* and maybe some plusses:) The intricacies of the world building, both in the human and spider communities, was brilliant! The attention to detail, the thoug
