Free Audiobook : Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Humanity’s last hope flickers in the void, aboard a crumbling ark ship fleeing a ruined Earth. In Children of Time, Adrian Tchaikovsky weaves a breathtaking tale of survival and evolution that spans millennia. The remnants of mankind, led by a weary scholar named Holsten Mason, chase a legend: a terraformed planet meant to be their salvation. But when they find it, the world is far from the Eden they dreamed of, shaped by an ancient experiment gone wildly off course. Narrated by Mel Hudson with a voice that balances human grit and alien wonder, this audiobook pulls you into a cosmic clash where the stakes couldn’t be higher.

On this strange planet, a new civilization rises, one that’s as brilliant as it is unfamiliar, born from a scientist’s hubris and a twist of fate. As Holsten and his crew grapple with a decaying ship and fading hope, they face a truth that challenges everything they know about what it means to be human. Hudson’s narration brings every moment to life, from the quiet despair of a dying species to the vibrant pulse of a society that sees the world in ways we can barely imagine. It’s a story that keeps you guessing, with each chapter building toward a collision that feels both inevitable and impossible.

Children of Time is a sci-fi masterpiece that blends big ideas with raw emotion, perfect for fans of Dune or The Left Hand of Darkness. Tchaikovsky asks who gets to inherit the future, weaving a narrative that’s as thought-provoking as it is thrilling. This audiobook will sweep you across stars and centuries, leaving you awestruck at the possibilities of life and the fragile threads that connect us all. Dive in and discover a world where humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, and the answer might not be what you expect.
