Children of Memory

Action-packed alien adventure from the winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award

De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Mel Hudson

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

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. Continue the journey with Children of Strife.

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, author of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars)

Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building (James McAvoy on Children of Time)

Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our finest writers (Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War, on Children of Ruin)

All underpinned by great ideas. And it is crisply modern - but with the sensibility of classic science fiction. Asimov or Clarke might have written this (Stephen Baxter, author of Time and Proxima, on Children of Ruin)

Children of Time is a joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human. (Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls and the Chaos Walking series, on Children of Time)

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.
