I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

Children of Ruin, by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

It's the sequel to Children of Time that won the Hugo award a few years ago.

Children of time may be the best science fiction book I've ever read (out of hundreds), and I've been devouring everything else by Tchaikovsky ever since.

The dude has range, and has been incredibly prolific over his career.

And the writing style is incredible. He makes incredibly complex concepts/plots very very easy to understand and follow.

The third book is excellent as well. Easilly one of my favorite scifi series.

@sunbytes He has done a fantasy series called “Shadows of the Apt” too and that is incredible also.

Oh yeah I'm like 6x books into that too.

Great stuff.
