Perhaps best known for the Children of Time sequence, of which the third part, Children of Memory, was published last summer, but also of extraordinary standalone novels like Cage of Souls and the newly published City of Last Chances, Adrian Tchaikovsky is massively prolific and massively gifted.

‘Tchaikovsky is a master at the height of his powers… Startlingly creative and utterly unpredictable’

- Ian Green, author of The Gauntlet and The Fist Beneath

Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Lincolnshire and studied Psychology and Zoology at Reading University, before ending up in Law. He has worked as a legal executive in both Reading and Leeds, where he now lives. He is the author of Children of Time, the winner  of the 30th Anniversary Arthur C. Clarke Award, and the Sunday Times bestseller Shards of Earth. @aptshadow
