This is a breathtaking novel from Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke award winning author. The walls between many worlds are collapsing and only a handful of people are in on this secret. But how can they stop the end of the universe?
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.
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
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
What a ride . . . talks like big-brained science
fiction and runs like a fleet-footed political thriller -- John
Scalzi
With The Doors of Eden, Tchaikovsky has created a
fantastic and highly imaginative new genre: evolution SF --
Peter F. Hamilton
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
As all right thinking people know, Adrian is the best . . . But
this, my friends, is the best of the best -- Ian McDonald
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
All 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 on Children of
Ruin
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 on Children of Ruin

one. It is an astounding book. The breadth of Adrian's
imagination is ASTONISHING. I literally cannot stop telling
people about it -- RJ Barker on Children of Ruin
Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of
our finest writers -- Gareth Powell on Children of Ruin
Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building --
James McAvoy on Children of Time
