From the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Adrian Tchaikovsky, The Doors of Eden is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a page-turning adventure. Writing at the top of his game, The Doors of Eden is a breathtaking novel from a bestselling author.

They thought we were safe. They were wrong.

Four years ago, two girls went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor. Only one came back.

Lee thought she’d lost Mal, but now she’s miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has she been all this time? Mal’s reappearance hasn’t gone unnoticed by MI5 officers either, and Lee isn’t the only one with questions.

Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power – and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor.

Dr Khan’s research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors crash open, anything could come through.

'Inventive, funny and engrossing, this book lingers long after you close it' - Tade Thompson, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Rosewater

Adrian Tchaikovsky is the author of Children of Time, Children of Ruin and many other novels, novellas and short stories. Children of Time won the Arthur C. Clarke award in its 30th anniversary year.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express

Victor Tanasa a dat nota:

3.5* Light spoilers ahead. The Doors of Eden started out great but lost steam about halfway. While we're presented with six POVs, it's disappointing that they don't really grow over the course of the book, which makes the characters quite one dimensional: the lesbian lovers, the government types, the scientist, the baddies. The ending had no tension, as I didn't really care what happened to them. The villain is very weak and unconvincing, with stock bad guy traits like hating transgender people, xenophobia, selfishness and so on. It's also weird how his motivations keep shifting throughout the book, so much so that I couldn't take him seriously. What stands out in this novel is its premise: what if beings with consciousness evolved in different geological eras, Earth's history diverging into multiple timelines, but ultimately somehow becoming connected, at a later date? While this is really cool and I loved the interludes describing the potential species, which were also masterfully integrated in the main narrative, how this is achieved is woefully under-explained, hand-wavy and vague. Characters often describe having achieved something using "math"; that's just not enough. An OK read, but with a lot of missed potential.
