Hi AT Fans, If you follow my threads you see I'm very much into consuming content in written and audio formats. I like to read a chapter and then listen to one in the car or at the gym. This allows me to get thru books faster then just reading them when time permits. That said, today's book is...

I've just noticed this planned for release in November: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60850767-children-of-memory?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=r4stpiaG1Z&rank=2 Thrid book in the Children of Time/Ruin series. Have to say I'm looking forward to it when it shifts to paperback pricing!

Tchaikovsky’s mind-boggling inventiveness never ceases to astound me! There are a number of parallel Earth timelines, not all that many and certainly not an infinity of them, and there are places where the boundary between them is fragile and now there seem to be more of these doorways opening...

I've been seeing this a lot in book shops and it definitely looks like it could be pretty good and something that I'd thoroughly enjoy. "Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid...

Bear Head is a sequel to the excellent Dogs of War, though it is a very different book told largely from the perspective of Honey, the over-intelligent bioform bear from the previous book, and the PA of the main antagonist. Mars has been colonised using both biofroms (adapted and enhanced...

The Expert System’s Champion is the second of two short books (currently) in Tchaikovsky’s Expert System series. Short they may be, but he packs quite a lot into them. He really does seem to produce very good books in this shorter novella kind of format. Handry’s order of Cain has matured and...

What happens if everything in a society is controlled by expert systems? Medicine, planning, building, law-making, justice… everything. And this is not self-aware, sentient artificial intelligence but merely rule based expert systems. That is the question Tchaikovsky asks in this short, thought...

Firewalkers is my second novella from Adrian Tchaikovsky and it appears to be a format he is very comfortable with. Global warming has heated the planet so much that an expanding band around the equator has effectively become completely uninhabitable. The privileged rich are escaping to a space...

I’m getting more and more impressed with Adrian Tchaikovsky, I know he’s been around for a while but most, or all, of his earlier work has been in the fantasy genre, which I rarely read, and only more recently has he been producing science fiction, which I very much do read, and very good it is...

“My name is Rex. I am a Good Dog” Rex is an augmented bioform based, mainly, on dog genes with a lot of cyborg thrown in. He is the leader of a Multiform Assault Pack along with a bear bioform, a chameleon one and a bee swarm one(s). He is programmed to unquestionably love and obey ‘Master.’...

I am reading Cage of Souls at the moment. I bought it because it's by Adrian Tchaikovsky and had a good review by Arthur C. Clarke. It is pretty grim,I suppose you could call it a "dystopian future" story. The hero of the story is in a prison- the Cage of Souls,from which no one ever returns...

This is the sequel to Children of Time and begins on another planet to which a colonisation expedition had been sent by Earth (before it self-destructed). This time it is octopuses that have been elevated to higher intelligence but there is also a truly alien intelligence to deal with. And the...

Adrian Tchaikovsky's The Tiger and the Wolf is a fantasy novel, the first in a series, published 2016 by Pan Macmillan. 590 pages in large (5" x 7¾") paperback. Maniye belongs to the Wolf, which means that, like the rest of her father's Winter Runner tribe, she can instantly Step into a wolf's...

Humanity has reached levels of technology that are verging on godlike and now, having found no other life in the galaxy, they are using those abilities to really play god; attempting to raise Terran monkeys to full sentience on a terraformed planet far from Sol. Meanwhile back at the solar...

I saw this book today but it seemed a bit pricey (W H Smith £12.99) I was just wondering if anyone in here has read it yet. If so is there any chance of a little review/ recommendation as to ... Is it worth buying? Cheers :)
