| This one gets off to a shaky start. The pace of the first few chapters is on the slow side, and the story features some of the more dislikeable characters ever to grace the series. Things kick into gear when we meet the crew of the Marduk, however, a ...more | |

| A "let's explore the new planet" adventure that echoes Star Trek (in good ways) as a landing party tries to study a society without being noticed and freaking it out. Then some oddities and inconsistencies start adding up, some obvious and some not. ...more | |

| The adventures of the space spiders continue! Tchaikovsky's exploration of evolution, cognition, and genre spreads its wings (I suppose that's really the next book) as another human terraforming expedition goes awry, leading to the rise of two new se ...more | |

Children of Time (Children of Time, #1):
