PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
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.
One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction -- Christopher Paolini Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building -- James McAvoy on <i>Children of Time</i> Breathtaking scope and vision. Adrian Tchaikovsky is one of our finest writers -- Gareth L. Powell on <i>Children of Ruin</i> If Homer had written space opera . . . Enthralling, epic, immersive and hugely intelligent. This might be Tchaikovsky’s best so far, and that's saying something -- Stephen Baxter on <i>Shards of Earth</i>
