BY THE WAY, I& #39;m reading Adrian Tchaikovsky& #39;s Children of Ruin, sequel to Children of Time, on the advice of @psmith, and it is the best science fiction I have read in *years*. World-building, character, tense plot, and good science. Absolutely brilliant, cannot praise too highly

@McKelvie think you might enjoy it you know, surprised you haven& #39;t come across it actually
