The unmissable follow-up space opera to the highly acclaimed Children of Time and Children of Ruin. When Earth failed; it sent out arkships to establish new outposts. So the spaceship Enkidu and its captain; Heorest Holt; carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later; this fragile colony has managed to survive on Imir; eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough; and much technological knowledge has been lost. Then strangers appear; on a world where everyone knows their neighbour. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling new technology – for they have come from the stars; to help humanity’s lost colonies. But not all is as it seems on Imir. As the visitors lose track of time and memories; they discover the colonists fear unknown enemies and Imir’s own murky history. Neighbour turns against neighbour; as society fractures in the face of this terrifying foe. Perhaps some other intelligence is at work; toying with colonists and space-faring scientists alike? But not all questions are so easily answered – and the price may be the colony itself. Children of Memory by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky is a far-reaching space opera spanning generations; species and galaxies.
