Reviews
"Children of Time has that essence of the classic science fiction novels, that sense of wonder and unfettered imagination but combined with this is the charm of a writer who really knows how to entertain, how to spin a good story. Essential science fiction, a book not to be missed." -- SF Book, "Like a Stephen Baxter novel with an epic sweep of history (see his Evolution , for example), added to a broad cast of a Peter Hamilton Space Opera and the narrative drive of, say, a David Brin or a Greg Bear old style SF novel, Children of Time soon got me hooked." -- SFF World, Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award for best science fiction novel of the year published in 2015. , "Children of Time has that essence of the classic science fiction novels, that sense of wonder and unfettered imagination but combined with this is the charm of a writer who really knows how to entertain, how to spin a good story.

The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age--a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied.

There was one big crease in a page and a handful of small ones but not a big deal. I'm only mentioning this in case that bothers some people. I expect this from time to time when buying used books. There is no writing or highlighting as far as I can tell, which is what matters most to me. Shipping took 2 weeks, but I expected that given their shipping description. Overall, good experience. Would buy from this seller again!
