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. Children of Memory by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky is a far-reaching space opera spanning generations, species and galaxies. Review: Sublime yet relevant - “Children of Time” is a far more ponderous, heady, and fantastical novel than the prior two entires in this series. Surprisingly it also manages to have a much more focused and relevant message. This book ponders significantly on what makes a mind and what makes a being. It explores plenty of fascinating concepts pf sentience and consciousness that feels novel. Yet, and Mr. Tchaikovsky is oddly direct on this point, it does replicate many of the architectures used in generative networks today. The result is a poignant piece on ethics and creation. I can’t help but think this may be the magnum opus. It is a masterpiece and a capstone to a very forward series. You won’t regret this book. Read it. Review: Another great book - This third book in the Children series take a different path than the first two book. While the first two were about terraforming projects that did not go quite as planned,this book is set in a second wave human colony that arrives on a world where the terraforming was barely begun. The book actually becomes somewhat confusing as the story progresses, jumping back and forth in time, until you reach the point where the mystery whose very existence was only hinted at up to that point is suddenly explained. While a bit harder read than the first two books, I think in the end it's well worth the effort. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,578 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #58 in Exploration Science Fiction #118 in First Contact Science Fiction (Books) #488 in Space Operas | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 9,755 Reviews | ## Images ![Children of Memory (Children of Time, 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91aDv2pjrCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sublime yet relevant *by T***R on April 6, 2023* “Children of Time” is a far more ponderous, heady, and fantastical novel than the prior two entires in this series.

While the first two were about terraforming projects that did not go quite as planned,this book is set in a second wave human colony that arrives on a world where the terraforming was barely begun. The book actually becomes somewhat confusing as the story progresses, jumping back and forth in time, until you reach the point where the mystery whose very existence was only hinted at up to that point is suddenly explained. While a bit harder read than the first two books, I think in the end it's well worth the effort. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Imaginative with an unexpected twist *by A***. on April 29, 2026* Children of Memory is an incredibly imaginative story with a completely unexpected twist, one that I didn’t anticipate, but made the story so much better once it was revealed. While I still don’t think it was on the same level as Children of Time (it’s going to be really tough to top that book, in my opinion), I liked it a lot more than I did Children of Ruin. Children of Memory is the tale of yet another planet the ancient terraformers of Earth had selected as a candidate for hosting life. The problem with this planet is the terraforming was never completed, and centuries later when the ark ship Enkidu arrives, there’s very little on the planet to help them survive. This part of the storyline alternates with that of a later expedition of human, Portiid, Interlocutor, and octopus scientists who came to that world long after the ark ship arrived, seeking more of their kin from old Earth. In addition to the species from previous books, we’re introduced to uplifted Corvids (crows or ravens), who have some unique problem-solving abilities the others lack. Some of the characters from previous books are back (most notably, Avrana Kern, the terraformer-turned-AI. I was hoping for a bit more about Meshner after book 2, but other than a couple brief mentions, he wasn’t part of this story. Here’s hoping he’ll make a return in later books!) This story requires a certain level of patience from the reader. There were parts in the first 2/3 of the book that had me scratching my head, and I was getting a bit frustrated by what appeared to be major inconsistencies. I say “appeared to be” because they were something else altogether, and it all made sense later on. I think my enjoyment stemmed mostly from that big plot twist and how it altered my perception of everything that came before. The questions the book posed after that point were fascinating too, and I absolutely loved the ending. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/439888657-children-of-memory-children-of-time-3](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/439888657-children-of-memory-children-of-time-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
