The Final Architecture
From Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time and winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, Lords of Uncreation is the final high-octane instalment in the Final Architecture space opera trilogy. He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it? Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything â the Architectsâ 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 galaxyâs great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror. Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idrisâ 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. Deep within unspace, where time moves differently, and reality isnât quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanityâs daring â and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.
