About the Author

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.

Reviews

Full of sparking, speculative invention . . . The Doors of Eden is a terrific timeslip / lost world romp in the grand tradition of Turtledove, Hoyle, even Conan Doyle. If you liked Primeval, read this book
*Stephen Baxter, author of The Thousand Earths*

The Doors of Eden shows a combination of tight, evocative prose combined with erudition. In a story whose scope is the broad canvas of the history of all life in the universe, Tchaikovsky manages to zoom in on human moments without breaking a sweat. Inventive, funny and engrossing, this book lingers long after you close it
*Tade Thompson, author of Rosewater and Far From the Light of Heaven*

What a ride . . . talks like big-brained science fiction and runs like a fleet-footed political thriller
*John Scalzi, author of Starter Villain*

With The Doors of Eden, Tchaikovsky has created a fantastic and highly imaginative new genre: evolution SF
*Peter F. Hamilton, author of Salvation and The Reality Dysfunction*

Unlike anything I've read in a very long time, and all the better for it . . . Tchaikovsky is clearly at the top of his game right now
*James Oswald, author of the Inspector McLean novels*

As all right thinking people know, Adrian is the best . . . But this, my friends, is the best of the best
*Ian McDonald, author of Luna*

Tchaikovsky’s world-building is some of the best in modern sci-fi and now he has made an enchanting multiverse of parallel Earths
*New Scientist*

You know you’re in for a ride. . . This book thoroughly engaged me. Children of Ruin is a humdinger of a book I enjoyed immensely
*Neal Asher, author of War Bodies, on Children of Ruin*

If you only ever take one book recommendation from me, take this one. It is an astounding book. The breadth of Adrian's imagination is ASTONISHING. I literally cannot stop telling people about it
*RJ Barker, author of the Tide Child trilogy, on Children of Ruin*

Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our finest writers
*Gareth Powell, author of the Embers of War series, on Children of Ruin*

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

Children of Time is a joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human
*Patrick Ness, author of The Knife of Never Letting Go and A Monster Calls, on Children of Time*

Addictively brilliant!
*John Gwynne, author of The Shadow of the Gods, on The Tiger and the Wolf*
