À propos de cet audio
From the author of Children of Time, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, Shards of Earth is the first high-octane, far-future space adventure in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture trilogy.
The series is read by Sophie Aldred (Doctor Who)
Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers.
Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans such as Idris - who could communicate mind-to-mind with our aggressors. Then these ‘Architects’ simply disappeared and Idris and his kind became obsolete.
Now, Idris and his crew have something strange, abandoned in space. It’s clearly the work of the Architects – but are they really returning? And if so, why? Hunted by gangsters, cults and governments, Idris and his crew race across the galaxy as they search for answers. For they now possess something of incalculable value, and many would kill to obtain it.
‘Enthralling, epic, immersive and hugely intelligent’ – Stephen Baxter, author of the Xeelee Sequence
‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of Fractal Noise

The story as a whole is pretty interesting, the universe is enthralling with different factions and alien species, but it loses me when it comes to characters and plot. My main gripe is with the protagonist, he seems wholly impotent. As the plot move along the protagonist is like a leaf in the wind, all the supporting characters are there to pull him along, save him from every bind, figure out every problem and solve every mystery. Ultimately it feels like he lacks the will and strength to act, he exerts very little authority and half the book is about exactly whose slave will end up being. Other than that the book was pretty enjoayable.
Pretty good listen but the plot is a miss for me.
