From the Arthur C. Clarke award-winning author of Children of Time, this third and final novel in an extraordinary space opera trilogy depicts humanity on the brink of extinction—and reveals how one man's discovery will save or destroy us all. Lords of Uncreation is the final high-octane installment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy.

Satisfying end to the story.
Revisado: 05-31-23
The only complain I have of this author's writing is how he underestimates the credit other characters might realistically give to the protagonists who are "in the know" like Idris. it's one of the main sources of tension in a couple of his series, but can start to feel a little old hat towards the end. that really is the only negative thing I have to say about this series though, I had a really great time listening to it!

The man known as Cheradenine Zakalwe was one of Special Circumstances' foremost agents, changing the destiny of planets to suit the Culture through intrigue, dirty tricks, and military action. The woman known as Diziet Sma had plucked him from obscurity and pushed him toward his present eminence, but despite all their dealings she did not know him as well as she thought. The drone known as Skaffen-Amtiskaw knew both of these people. It had once saved the woman's life by massacring her attackers in a particularly bloody manner. It believed the man to be a lost cause.

LISTEN TO THIS BOOK TWICE!
Revisado: 04-04-23
The way this story unfolds offers a totally unique and brilliant experience that really blew me away. There are many moments where the story feels disjointed, or that you missed an important piece of information early on that's being referenced as background knowledge. towards the final quarter of the story though, things really start to click into place as more information is revealed. The end brings everything together, and will rock you.
If you immediately start the book over again, scenes that worked in a metaphorical sense initially will take on new and more in depth meanings. I fully believe the author intended the readers to read the book again after finishing it the first time- It offers an entirely new, beautifully deep experience once you start with the whole picture already revealed.
The fact that the author was even able to come up with such a complex narrative concept, and to employ it with such skill and emotional depth absolutely boggles my mind. What an incredible experience, and please, PLEASE finish it twice!

Earth failed. In a desperate bid to escape, 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, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost. Then strangers appear. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling technology–and they've arrived from another world to help humanity’s colonies. But not all is as it seems, and the price of the strangers' help may be the colony itself.

Wonderfully poignant and thoughtful
Revisado: 03-05-23
The book presents a well crafted, emotional story that reflects on what it means to "be". It presents ideas on sentience as a possible illusion with a cast of fun, incredibly thoughtful, emotional and well fleshed out characters. It's a book that inspires thought without being bogged down by the act of trying to do so.
