Blog Tour: Shards of Earth – Adrian Tchaikovsky

A massive thank you to the publisher and the Write Reads for this review copy, and allowing me on the blog tour!

The blurb from the back of the book:

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.

I was so excited to receive an eARC of this book! I love all books to do with space, and this one was no exception.

I loved how there were multiple alien races, starship battles, and so much detail into this world!

It is astonishing how complex and intricate the author has made this world. I can understand why he is the go to author for this genre.

I love how the story tells us how humans left the Earth, and how they’ve been scattered across the universe.

This was full of action and intrigue, and I am looking forward to book two!

I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
