Children of Strife

De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Mel Hudson

A new entry in the wildly successful Children of Time series from award-winning master of science fiction Adrian Tchaikovsky.

After Earth fell, ark ships hunted for a new home. They sought lost worlds terraformed in Earth’s forgotten past. A ship crewed by maverick humans, spiders and a spectacularly punchy mantis shrimp captain is about to rediscover one such world, and an ark.

Then human crewmate Alis wakes to discover that she, her captain and the ship’s intelligence are the only ones left on their ship.

But what happened to those who left to explore the ark ... and the world below?

Children of Strife is the extraordinary next volume set in the Children of Time universe, featuring epic adventure, first contact and the nature of intelligence among the stars.

Darkly funny

This book was funnier than the others, in a dark, understated way. While other Children of books were more focused on what constitutes sapience, this book explores the notion of self deeply. It also asks what humans would do with godlike powers, and can a post-scarcity society based on tolerance really survive? Gave story four stars instead of five because of repetition but overall it was a solid entry in one of the best hard sci fi series ever.

Yorr Future?

A fantastic story, yes it is book 4 , but this series has not let me down; a long look at time and intelligent entities; no mater what they appear to us as.Loved It!

excellent

Just add the previous books in the series, and AT's other SciFi, this book is fantastic in too many ways to describe. If you loved those previous books you'll love this one

Cato!!!!!!

This thrilling space opera blends imaginative science with adventure, delivering a new vivid world, complex characters, and thought-provoking ideas that keep readers engaged from beginning to end.

Lots of Time Jumps (3 different ages)

This 4th installment is true to the series, better than the 3rd book, which was mostly a "hallucination" anyway. The story is a bit confusing, but by hour 10 it all makes sense. I love stories about impossible Ark Ships. The Dark Beyond the Stars is a very similar type of novel.
