Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky - Starting March 18th, 2020

[Twila]

A race for survival among the stars... Humanity's last survivors escaped earth's ruins to find a new home. But when they find it, can their desperation overcome its dangers?

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 civilizations 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?

I hope to start this soon. I'm actually very excited. I'm really expecting to love it :D

Hi Twila-

Just seeing if you were still reading this? I got about 40 pages into it, but then our school went to on-line learning, and I've been busy getting lessons ready for that. I could probably try to get back into it if you're reading it, but I'm having a very hard time concentrating on reading right now, and this book looks pretty big! HA!

Just curious if you're still reading it??

Oh, hi Katie! I didn't update since it seemed no one was reading, but I actually finished this morning. And please, don't force yourself to read it. Times are crazy right now and I totally understand that you're busy!
I ended up really enjoying it and I hope you do too whenever you get to it :)

Hi both,

I was going to jump in on this one but then life got crazy! I'm still interested in reading it but just don't think I'll have the time this month, I'm so sorry.
