About this event

Join us as we welcome Adrian Tchaikovsky to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of Children of Strife. In this epic adventure, we visit a far-future after earth fell, where ark ships had hunted for a new home. They sought lost worlds terraformed in earth’s forgotten past. We follow a ship crewed by maverick humans, spiders and a spectacularly punchy mantis shrimp captain as they rediscover one such world, and an ark. Then human crewmate Alis wakes to discover that she, her captain and the ship’s intelligence are the only ones left on their ship. But what happened to those who left to explore the ark and the world below? Adrian will talk about his new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.
