Children of Time is the epic story of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet.

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.

Great SciFi in a classic way

5 stars

Someone wrote, the book reminded them of Star Trek, in a good way. And yeah, I get it now! I guess book 2 has to be different (won't spoiler, but book 1 brings... closure) - but will definitely check it out.
