Children of Memory

One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction – Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of StarsBrilliant science fiction and far-out world-building – James McAvoy on Children of TimeBreathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our finest writers – Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War, on Children of RuinAll 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 RuinChildren 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

Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, and headed off to university in Reading to study psychology and zoology. For reasons unclear even to himself, he subsequently ended up in law. Adrian has since worked as a legal executive in both Reading and Leeds and now writes full time. He also lives in Leeds, with his wife and son. Adrian is a keen live role-player and occasional amateur actor. He has also trained in stage-fighting and keeps no exotic or dangerous pets of any kind - possibly excepting his son.

Adrian is the author of the critically acclaimed Shadows of the Apt series, the Echoes of the Fall series and other novels, novellas and short-stories. The Tiger and the Wolf won the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel - and Children of Time won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. This was in the award’s thirtieth anniversary year.
