Publisher's Summary
From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. Shards of Earth is the first high-octane, far-future space adventure in Adrian Tchaikovsky' Final Architecture trilogy.
The war is over.
Its heroes forgotten.
Until one chance discovery . . .
Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers.
Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans such as Idris – who could communicate mind-to-mind with our aggressors. Then these ‘Architects’ simply disappeared and Idris and his kind became obsolete.
Now, Idris and his crew have something strange, abandoned in space. It’s clearly the work of the Architects – but are they really returning? And if so, why? Hunted by gangsters, cults and governments, Idris and his crew race across the galaxy as they search for answers. For they now possess something of incalculable value, and many would kill to obtain it.

Fantastic story, beautifully narrated!
If you're a fan of modern science fiction, Adrian Tchaikovsky's work is an absolute must-have in your library. His stories are beautifully written, and this one was even better than his 'Children of time' series, specially where pacing was concerned.
The narrator does a masterful job in breathing life into each character. In turn, this brings a vividity to the world building that feeds our inner adventurer. We travel the stars and unravel its mysteries with her. Absolutely delightful!
