Signed by the author to the bespoke 'signed by the author' title page:- Synopsis: What waits in the shadows as we fight our greatest foe? An Architect was poised to destroy humanity's foremost colony, until Idris Telemmier turned it aside. But that was only the start of the war and now no planet is safe. Humanity's greatest enemy is back in force. Artefacts from a long-vanished civilization once preserved whole worlds from destruction - yet these are now, terrifyingly, ineffective. One last hope is that this lost civilization's ruins hide secrets that might defeat the Architects. Idris and the crew of the Vulture God are sent seeking answers to a planet under a death sentence. And all the while, the fractured factions of humanity eye one another with distrust. They grow further apart even in the shadow of annihilation. Idris was desperate to retire. Yet as an Intermediary, he's an irreplaceable weapon. To find something to stop the Architects' pitiless advance, he must return to the nightmare of unspace where his mind was broken and remade.

I can't wait to read the next one" - New Scientist / "Dazzlingly suspenseful.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. Eyes of the Void is the second high-octane instalment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy.

‘Tchaikovsky's world-building is some of the best in modern sci-fi’ – New Scientist

What waits in the shadows as we fight our greatest foe?

After one great battle, the Architects disappeared. Yet humanity’s fragile peace is brief. For, forty years later, the galaxy’s greatest alien enemy has returned. This time, the artefacts that preserved entire worlds from destruction are ineffective. And no planet is safe.

The Human Colony worlds are in turmoil as they face extinction. Some believe alliances with other species can save them. Others insist humanity must fight alone. But no one has the firepower or technology to ensure victory, as the Architects loom ever closer.

Idris spent decades running from the last war’s horrors. Yet as an Intermediary, altered to navigate deep space, he’s one of humanity’s only weapons. He’s therefore forced back into action. With a handful of allies, Idris must find something – anything – to stop the Architects’ pitiless advance. But to do so, he must return to the nightmare of unspace, where his mind was broken and remade. What he discovers there will change everything.

The explosive Final Architecture trilogy concludes with Lords of Uncreation . . .
