Eyes of the Void is the second high-octane instalment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy. From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, which won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award, Eyes of the Void follows the aftermath of a great battle where the Architects, a powerful alien race, disappeared. Forty years later, the galaxy's greatest alien enemy has returned, and the artefacts that preserved entire worlds from destruction are ineffective. No planet is safe, and the Human Colony worlds are in turmoil as they face extinction. Some believe alliances with other species can save them, while others insist humanity must fight alone. But no one has the firepower or technology to ensure victory, as the Architects loom ever closer. Idris, an Intermediary, altered to navigate deep space, is one of humanity's only weapons. He is forced back into action with a handful of allies, and must find something – anything – to stop the Architects' pitiless advance. But to do so, he must return to the nightmare of unspace, where his mind was broken and remade. What he discovers there will change everything. Eyes of the Void is a rollercoaster that readers can't put down. It is pacy, the science superb, and the characters complex and hugely engaging. It captures the intricacy and scale of a fully formed universe with style and pace. Readers love the writing, the science, and the characters, and it is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction.
