Reviews"Children of Time has that essence of the classic science fiction novels, that sense of wonder and unfettered imagination but combined with this is the charm of a writer who really knows how to entertain, how to spin a good story. Essential science fiction, a book not to be missed." -- SF Book, "Like a Stephen Baxter novel with an epic sweep of history (see his Evolution , for example), added to a broad cast of a Peter Hamilton Space Opera and the narrative drive of, say, a David Brin or a Greg Bear old style SF novel, Children of Time soon got me hooked." -- SFF World, Shortlisted for the Arthur C.

Fun sci fi book
This was a really fun book to read. Very imaginative and fast paced. The story isn’t bogged down with technobabble, and isn’t super philosophical. I liked the author’s ideas on how a sentient spider species could create a society on par with humanity. Probably wouldn’t recommend the book to people with arachnophobia thoughBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

OK
The book is well written. The dual track (two fairly unconected narrative) was not an asset for me. Reading priarily onea allowed me to finish the book, but I was not tempred by the second track.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
