Publisher's Summary

From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. Eyes of the Void is the second high-octane instalment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy.

What waits in the shadows as we fight our greatest foe?

After one great battle, the Architects disappeared. Yet humanity’s fragile peace is brief. For, forty years later, the galaxy’s greatest alien enemy has returned. This time, the artefacts that preserved entire worlds from destruction are ineffective. And no planet is safe.

The Human Colony worlds are in turmoil as they face extinction. Some believe alliances with other species can save them. Others insist humanity must fight alone. But no one has the firepower or technology to ensure victory, as the Architects loom ever closer.

Idris spent decades running from the last war’s horrors. Yet as an Intermediary, altered to navigate deep space, he’s one of humanity’s only weapons. He’s therefore forced back into action. With a handful of allies, Idris 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.

Great Story, ear hurting voices

Love this series. It’s creative and engaging. Unfortunately the voice actor really went for it and some of their characters are unbearably scratchy and unpleasant. I had to skip bits. :(

Amazing

Absolutely amazing. Adrian Tchaikovsky built a whole universe, along with an (almost) empty one. Both full of surprises. The performance of the voice actor is astounding.

Amazing story. But really amazing delivery.

Story is fantastic. Can't wait for book 3 in the series. But the narrator is a real highlight here. The same one as book 1, and I really hope she's back for book 3. Amazing performance!

Hell of a book

As a huge fan of The Expanse books, this series is just as good, if not better in some areas.
