Children of Memory

They dreamed of a new home. They woke to a nightmare.

A far-reaching space opera spanning generations, species and galaxies by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky.

On Imir, Captain Holt founded a hopeful new colony on an empty world. But generations later, his descendants are struggling to survive. As harvests worsen and equipment fails, strangers appear in a town where everyone knows their neighbour. Now the community fears that it’s being observed – that they’re not alone. And they’d be right.

Explorers from the stars have come in secret, to help. Confident of their superior technology, they begin to study their long-lost cousins from Earth. Yet the visitors aren’t the only watchers. When the starfarers discover the scale of their mistake, it will be far too late to escape.

**Children of Memory is the unmissable follow-up space opera to the highly acclaimed Children of Time and Children of Ruin. Continue the journey with Children of Strife.
