About this listen
Lords of Uncreation is the final high-octane instalment in the Final Architecture space opera trilogy. From Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time and winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
The series is read by Sophie Aldred (Doctor Who)
Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything – the Architects’ greatest weakness. A shadowy cartel scrambles to turn his discovery into a weapon against these alien destroyers of worlds. But between them and victory stands self-interest. The galaxy’s great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror.
Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idris’ discovery, as the galaxy erupts into a mutually destructive and self-defeating war. The other great obstacle to striking against their alien threat is Idris himself. He knows that the Architects, despite their power, are merely tools of a higher intelligence.
Deep within unspace, where time moves differently, and reality isn’t quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanity’s daring – and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.
‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of Fractal Noise

Critic Reviews
Adrian Tchaikovsky: king of the spiders, master world-builder and asker of intriguing questions. His books are packed with thought-provoking ideas (as well as lots of spiders; did I mention the spiders?). One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction
(Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and Fractal Noise)I thought the writing could have been better in parts. Word repetition (finding purchase) and overuse (gravitic) was a bit annoying at times.
I thought the characters were great. I'd have liked Ollie and Solace to have a big heart to heart or something. I loved the inclusive stuff about gender and ability.
The performance was great. Spot on.
overall I enjoyed it.

Sophie Aldred was a perfect narrator for this. Her intonation and ability to give distinct voices to all of the different characters was crucial to the reading.
I look forward to Adrian’s next book.
Amazing and original
