Publisher's Summary
In Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race, a junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe.
Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way.
But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself). Although she still gets in the way, she understands that the only way to save her people is to invoke the pact between her family and the Elder sorcerer who has inhabited the local tower for as long as her people have lived here (though none in living memory has approached it).
But Elder Nyr isn't a sorcerer, and he is forbidden to help, and his knowledge of science tells him the threat cannot possibly be a demon . . .

A good combination of sci-fi and fantasy
Arthur C Clarke famously said 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic'.
I think Adrian had perhaps decided to write an entire novella based on this statement and 'elder race' was created.
This is a short, enjoyable work with all trademark Tchaikovsky elements like wit, likeable self-deprecating characters, solid world-building and genuine warmth.
This is my 8th book by Adrian Tchaikovsky and I don't think it will be my last!
