Synopsis

This box set contains hardcover editions of the first three novels of Adrian Tchaikovsky's acclaimed Children of Time series, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke award and one of the bestselling space opera series of the last decade. The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age--a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Who will inherit this new Earth? Children of Time Children of Time Children of Ruin Children of Memory
