Free Audiobook : Children of Memory, by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Imagine a universe where Earth’s long gone, and humanity’s scraps are scattered across the stars, clinging to whatever worlds they can find. On Imir, a struggling colony fights to survive, its people scratching out a living from a planet that doesn’t care. Then strangers show up, outsiders with tech and knowledge that feel almost too good to be true, stirring whispers of hope and suspicion among the settlers.

These aren’t just any visitors. They’re a wild mix of humans, spiders, and even a pair of sharp-tongued ravens, all tied to a legacy of Earth’s grand experiments. Leading them is a figure who’s more than she seems, chasing answers to questions the colonists don’t even know to ask. Adrian Tchaikovsky spins a story that’s as much about who we are as what we’ve lost, pulling you into a tangle of memory and mystery that hums with quiet tension.

This audiobook isn’t just a sci-fi trip; it’s a slow burn that hooks you with its eerie vibes and big ideas. Children of Memory takes the sprawling saga of Children of Time and flips it inward, asking what happens when the past won’t stay buried. Narrated with a voice that brings every doubt and wonder to life, it’s a journey that’ll linger in your head long after the sound fades.
