    Adrian Tchaikovsky warned us of this.

      Actually those spiders were pretty damn cool! And it’s an excellent book series.

        Oh, for sure. I hate spiders, and I was loathe to read it, but damned if I didn’t enjoy all of them.

      For a Sci-Fi newbie who’s thinking of trying out Tchaikovsky, any advice on where to start?

        Start off with the Children of Time series, there’s no reason not to. Well written, great story with memorable characters, and a fantastic hard sci-fi twist on what intelligent life really is, and how we think of ourselves and others.

          Thanks! I’ll go for that as soon as I’m finished with the Three Body Problem series.
