Lords of Uncreation

<p><b>From Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of <i>Children of Time</i> and winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, <i>Lords of Uncreation</i> is the final high-octane instalment in the Final Architecture space opera trilogy.</b><br><br><b>He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it?</b><br><br>Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything &ndash; the Architects&rsquo; 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&rsquo;s great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror.<br><br>Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idris&rsquo; 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.<br><br>Deep within unspace, where time moves differently, and reality isn&rsquo;t quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanity&rsquo;s daring &ndash; and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.<br><br><b>Praise for Adrian Tchaikovsky:</b><br><br><b>&lsquo;One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction&rsquo; &ndash; Christopher Paolini</b><br><br><b>&lsquo;[Adrian] writes incredibly enjoyable sci-fi, full of life and ideas&rsquo; &ndash; Patrick Ness, author of <i>The Knife of Never Letting Go</i></b><br><br><b>&lsquo;Brilliant science fiction&rsquo; &ndash; James McAvoy on <i>Children of Time</i></b><br><br><b>&lsquo;Full of sparkling, speculative invention&rsquo; &ndash; Stephen Baxter, author of the Xeelee Sequence on <i>The Doors of Eden</i></b></p>
