Who will inherit this new Earth?

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.

Now two civilisations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?

Reviews for Children of Time

'This is superior stuff, tackling big themes - gods, messiahs, artificial intelligence, alienness - with brio.' -- Financial Times '... a joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human.' -- Patrick Ness 'Brilliant science fiction and far out world building.' -- James McAvoy
