<b>The war is over. Its heroes forgotten. Until one chance discovery . . .</b><p><b>From the author of <i>Children of Time</i>, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, <i>Shards of Earth</i> is the first high-octane, far-future space adventure in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture trilogy.</b><br><br>Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity's heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers.<br><br>Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans ­such as Idris - who could communicate mind-to-mind with our aggressors. Then these 'Architects' simply disappeared and Idris and his kind became obsolete.<br><br>Now, Idris and his crew have something strange, abandoned in space. It's clearly the work of the Architects - but are they really returning? And if so, why?<br><br>Hunted by gangsters, cults and governments, Idris and his crew race across the galaxy as they search for answers. For they now possess something of incalculable value - and many would kill to obtain it . . .<br><br><b>'Enthralling, epic, immersive and hugely intelligent' - Stephen Baxter, author of the Xeelee Sequence</b><br><br><b>'One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction' - Christopher Paolini, author of <i>Fractal Noise</i></b><br><br><b>Praise for Adrian Tchaikovsky:</b><br><br>'He writes incredibly enjoyable sci-fi, full of life and ideas' - Patrick Ness<br><br>'Thoughtful, sweeping space adventure' - <i>SFX</i><br><br>'Brilliant science fiction' - James McAvoy<br><br><b>The breathtaking Final Architecture trilogy continues in book two, <i>Eyes of the Void</i>.</b></p>
