Children of Time, Children of Ruin and Children of Memory are brought together in this three-book collection from the Children of Time series. Spanning humanity’s search for survival beyond a dying Earth, the set follows journeys to distant worlds shaped by terraforming programmes and the long shadows they leave behind.

Across these novels, new planets offer the promise of a home, but also raise unsettling questions about what has endured, what has changed, and what may already be waiting.

Synopses

Children of Time

Humanity’s last remnants leave a dying Earth in search of a new home among the stars. They discover a world that has been terraformed and prepared for human life, raising the question of who will inherit this new Earth.

Children of Ruin

Thousands of years after Earth’s terraforming programme set out, scientists on the world they called Nod encountered alien life, even as their mission was to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detect fragmentary radio signals and send an exploration vessel, only to face what the ancient terraformers may have awakened.

Children of Memory

On Imir, Captain Holt establishes a colony on an empty world, creating hope for humanity’s future. Generations later, his descendants struggle as harvests worsen and equipment fails, while strangers appear and something inexplicable seems to lurk nearby.

Explorers from the stars arrive in secret to assist the outpost, confident in their superior technology and overseen by the construct of Doctor Avrana Kern, as they begin to study their long-lost cousins from Earth.
