comadivine11 's review for:
Children of Time
by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.5 rounded up to 5.
Typically, I'm not a huge fan of so-called hard Sci-Fi, with a few notable exceptions. This book has made it on to my "notable exceptions" list. Although a bit long-winded, this is a fantastic piece of work. The story alternates perspectives every chapter between the humans on the space transport vessel, the Gilgamesh, and an increasingly evolved and intelligent alien species on a terraformed planet. The story necessarily spans several millennia to tell the trials and triumphs of these two different but connected groups. Looking forward to the sequel!
