fabien_'s review against another edition

Ce livre raconte deux histoires parallèles qui vont se croiser: l'histoire d'un vaisseau-arche porteur des derniers humains à la recherche d'une planète à coloniser, et l'histoire de l'évolution d'une civilisation d'araignées sur une planète verte, propice à la vie, démarré par hasard par les humains de l'Empire il y a des milliers d'années.
Quand les humains empêchés de se poser sur la planète, luttent, déclinent et se déchirent sur leur vaisseau-refuge, les araignées elles évoluent, tant technologiquement que socialement. D'une façon que personne n'avait imaginée.
Children of time est un vrai livre de hard sci-fi, long, documenté, intelligent, parfois aride mais finalement épique. Tout dans ce livre est malin, et très imaginatif en terme de scénario.

Mon seul problème avec ce livre monstrueux a été le rythme parfois lent et le fait que le lire en anglais a été ardu.
