His other prison novel "Cage of Souls" is even better.

I would love to see a collaboration between Adrian Tchaikofsky and China Mieville. One that takes place after Iron Council ends and the world has been visited by seeds of Alien Clay

Fantastic

Started Alien Clay this past Sunday and am loving it.

If you're a fan of biology based science fiction, this author is prime. Also check out Doors of Eden, which features evolution, alternative histories, and deep time. So much fun.

i really, really was blown away by Children of Time!
i now have 16 books by @aptshadow.bsky.social

another author who writes prime biology based science fiction is @sueburke.bsky.social.
love her work!

I love Adrian Tchaikovsky's work, too!

stellajorette.bsky.social•45 days ago

Absolutely! I loved Semiosis. Also enjoyed the Southern Reach series and Bourne by Jeff Vandermeer.

teunemans.bsky.social•45 days ago

same! 👍

aptshadow.bsky.social•45 days ago

Thank you! And I agree, Sue is top notch.

Doors of Eden is excellent. Highly recommended.

I'm about done with the Children of Time trilogy, I highly recommend it. I've borrowed Service Model from the library next, and then onto Alien Clay. Definitely my favorite author I've found in a while!

Thank you.

Loved it. Haven't gotten to anything else bigger yet but read Walking to Aldebaran and Ironclads the last couple weeks. Really enjoyed them too.

A truly outstanding author. I’ve read 26 and loved every single one. He pulled me in with ‘bondage rats’ 😁 and now every new book feels like ‘we’re going on an adventure’ 🤪

dratom.bsky.social•46 days ago

I've been reading through his ovure and have enjoyed them all.

If you like the alt-bio vibe, try the "Children of Time" books.

wswardstrom.bsky.social•46 days ago

Yeah they're on my list. Just need to clear out some of the top of my pile first.

teunemans.bsky.social•45 days ago

they’re amazing. The first in the series blew me away…
