Children of Memory

Children of Time, Book 3

De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Mel Hudson

From the award-winning master of sci-fi Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory is the unmissable follow-up space opera to the highly acclaimed Children of Time and Children of Ruin.

They dreamed of a new home.
They woke to a nightmare.

On Imir, Captain Holt founded a new colony on an empty world. In the process, he created hope and a new future for humanity. But, generations later, his descendants are struggling to survive. As harvests worsen and equipment fails, strangers appear in a town where everyone knows their neighbour. Now the inexplicable lurks in the woods and the community fears that it's being observed – that they’re not alone.

They’d be right, as explorers from the stars have arrived in secret to help this lost outpost. Confident of their superior technology, and overseen by the all-knowing construct of Doctor Avrana Kern, they begin to study their long-lost cousins from Earth.

Yet the planet hides deeper mysteries. It seems the visitors aren’t the only watchers. And when the starfarers discover the scale of their mistake, it will be far too late to escape.

Children of Memory by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky is a far-reaching space opera spanning generations, species and galaxies.

Reseñas de la Crítica

One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction (Christopher Paolini)

Thoroughly absorbing and enjoyable (The Guardian)

In a word - Brilliant

"Brilliant" is precisely the word that kept spontaneously coming to mind as I approached the end of this book. I'm so glad I tried it despite some of the negative reviews that I'd read which put it down as not living up to the first two books in the series. To spell out just what made it brilliant would spoil things though, so I won't. I will say, however, that I am so very impressed by how thoughtful and creative the author has been in his exploration of the different forms that life might take and at least one very intriguing vision of the future in this series.

Fantástico

Para mim essa Saga se tornou o verdadeiro sucessor espiritual de tudo que há de melhor em star trek

Great work

This is another great work by Tchaikovsky building a bit of philosophy into his sci-fi genre. It really has a jaw dropping moment when you figure out where the world he’s built really is.

A great book and listen that I didn’t want to stop.

Mediocre

Not as good as the two prequels
Children of Time
and
Children of Ruin.
But a decent Sci-fi novel

not nearly as good as previous books

Struggle to finish it and follow it. Lacks the amazing scientific detail and imagination of the previous books.

Third one out

While good concepts, the majority of the story falls flat in a repetitive blur where nothing happens and doesn't even matter in the end. A shadow compared to the previous books.

what is sentience, really?

like the previus book in the series, nothing makes sense at all untill the last few chapters.
But unlike the previus two books, this one also digs into the question of who and what are sentient, and what that means.

Philosophy students may recommended to read this book as a case study.

Delightful mindbender

Somehow reminded me of Westworld series. A web of clues to untangle and an amazing story within.

Intriguing

While this book deters a bit from the previous 2 books in the series I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the themes that were introduced near the end thought-provoking. An interesting thought experiment. I would love another book in this series to expand upon what's been introduced. I truly enjoy this author's works and as usual, the narration was superb!

now with added crows

Love this universe, love the performance. so happy that perhaps the story may continue in a 4th installment.
