Children Of Time

Humanity has always reached for the stars. It was only a matter of time before humans started trying to make other planets their home. After their long-dead ancestors destroyed the Earth past the point of no return, the last humans travel thousands of years across the Universe in search of those planets, not knowing if they're even real. They do find such a planet, but it's not the home they expected. Something else has already taken over: spiders. They had the time to grow and evolve. In a way, they're very much like the humans; in another, they couldn't be further apart. Each species has its heroes and villains. Everyone has flaws and strengths. Their motivations grow and change as they do. The world around them pushes for these changes and is itself changed in turn, resulting in a great plot. This is a book for arachnophobes, so they realize how awesome spiders are and always have been. It is a book for everyone else, too, because it reminds us of the depths we can sink to and of the heights we can aspire to. Children of Time is a book about traveling through space, about the clash between two intelligent species and, most of all, about people in whatever shape or species they come.
