Story
There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Story
The Lowlands’ city states have lived in peace for decades, hailed as bastions of civilization. Yet that peace is about to end. A distant empire has been conquering neighbours with highly trained soldiers and sophisticated combat techniques. And the city states are its desirable new prize. Only the ageing Stenwold Maker – spymaster, artificer and statesman – foresees the threat, as the empires’ armies march ever closer. So it falls upon his shoulders to open the eyes of the cities’ leaders.

Story
Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way. But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself). Although she still gets in the way, she understands that the only way to save her people is to invoke the pact between her family and the Elder sorcerer who has inhabited the local tower for as long as her people have lived here (though none in living memory has approached it).

Publisher's Summary
From the award-winning master of sci-fi Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory is the unmissable follow-up space opera to the highly acclaimed Children of Time and Children of Ruin.
When Earth failed, it sent out arkships to establish new outposts. So the spaceship Enkidu and its captain, Heorest Holt, carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later, this fragile colony has managed to survive on Imir, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost.
Then strangers appear, on a world where everyone knows their neighbour. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling new technology – for they have come from the stars, to help humanity’s lost colonies. But not all is as it seems on Imir.
As the visitors lose track of time and memories, they discover the colonists fear unknown enemies and Imir’s own murky history. Neighbour turns against neighbour, as society fractures in the face of this terrifying foe. Perhaps some other intelligence is at work, toying with colonists and space-faring scientists alike? But not all questions are so easily answered – and the price may be the colony itself . . .
Children of Memory by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky is a far-reaching space opera spanning generations, species and galaxies.

Maybe the best in the series
It’s a big call, but this could be the best of the series. Tchaikovsky’s non-human (but Human) characters are enthralling, funny and relatable. I want more!

Yet again Adrian Tchaikovsky breaks my brain in beautifully complex ways
There are so many layers to engage with the conclusion of the ‘Children of’ series
Perfect, confronting, philosophical, emotional and clever. Thank you

Please let there be another sequel
This series has been amazing every step of the way. Each book explores what it means to be alive, conscious, and a person in such a way that leaves me completely astounded.

Great 3rd part to an already amazing story. The Narrator Mel does an excellent job articulating the wording laid out by the author Adrian, and make you feel so very immersed in the universe.

A fitting end to a great saga
Definitely not how I thought this amazing trilogy would end. However it’s fitting and a great listen, not as good as the first book (how could it be) but has me eager to listen to more of Adrian’s work

Mindbending
The culminating story, which at the same time is a continuation, as well as an opening for a vast universe of ideas yet to come by the unlimited imagination of the superb author - Adrian Tchaikovsky!
Loved every second of it.
The story is so unpredictable and the ideas - quite deep and hard to wrap your head around it bends your mind until you get them. Fascinating all along.
The narrator is excellent as always. So much depth is added to the characters. So much life! I’ve been in awe of the stern, yet motherly AI voice since book one of the series.
6 out of 5 stars. Recommend to anyone with love for an incredible sci-fi love and deep philosophical thought provoking topics.
