A review by arachnichemist
The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky

4.0

This book has some of the more fascinating hard sci fi concepts I have read. The alternate evolution on earth were extremely well done and believable. The race to find a solution to the overarching crisis was a ton of fun and I loved the resolution. My main issue is how cartoony the primary antagonist was. Everyone else was so well done that this character really pulled me out of my immersion once his ultimate goal was revealed. Now, maybe this is some kind of satire character for UK politics and as an American I am missing it. Regardless, it knocked a full start off a book that could have otherwise been one of my all time great sci fi reads.
