About this listen

He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it?


Lords of Uncreation is the final high-octane instalment in the Final Architecture space opera trilogy. From Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time and winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award.

The series is read by Sophie Aldred (Doctor Who)


Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything – the Architects’ greatest weakness. A shadowy cartel scrambles to turn his discovery into a weapon against these alien destroyers of worlds. But between them and victory stands self-interest. The galaxy’s great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror.

Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idris’ discovery, as the galaxy erupts into a mutually destructive and self-defeating war. The other great obstacle to striking against their alien threat is Idris himself. He knows that the Architects, despite their power, are merely tools of a higher intelligence.

Deep within unspace, where time moves differently, and reality isn’t quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanity’s daring – and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.

‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of Fractal Noise

Critic Reviews

Adrian Tchaikovsky: king of the spiders, master world-builder and asker of intriguing questions. His books are packed with thought-provoking ideas (as well as lots of spiders; did I mention the spiders?). One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction

(Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and Fractal Noise)
[Adrian Tchaikovsky] writes incredibly enjoyable sci-fi, full of life and ideas (Patrick Ness, author of The Knife of Never Letting Go and A Monster Calls)
A thoughtful, sweeping space adventure (SFX Magazine on Shards of Earth)
Enthralling, epic, immersive and hugely intelligent (Stephen Baxter, author of the Xeelee Sequence, on Shards of Earth)
A modern classic of the genre. Imaginative, kinetic, and wire tense. Highly recommended (Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War and Descendant Machine, on Shards of Earth)
A rip-roaring space opera featuring starship battles, genetically enhanced superhumans and multiple weird and wonderful aliens (New Scientist, on Shards of Earth)
Adrian Tchaikovsky turns the HP Lovecraft dial to 11 (The Times, Best Science Fiction Books 2021, on Shards of Earth)
Tchaikovsky has consolidated his position as the finest purveyor of high-quality space opera around . . . deft and clever, expansive and readable, all informed by Tchaikovsky’s superbly baroque imaginative fecundity (The Guardian, Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books 2021, on Shards of Earth)

I couldn't ask for a more befitting end to the trilogy. Masterfully written and epic in every way.

My congratulations to Sophie Aldred and the team for an immaculate presentation of this beautiful story.

A wonderful journey through unspace
