Publisher's summary

From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. Eyes of the Void is the second high-octane instalment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy.

‘Tchaikovsky's world-building is some of the best in modern sci-fi’ – New Scientist

What waits in the shadows as we fight our greatest foe?

After one great battle, the Architects disappeared. Yet humanity’s fragile peace is brief. For, forty years later, the galaxy’s greatest alien enemy has returned. This time, the artefacts that preserved entire worlds from destruction are ineffective. And no planet is safe.

The Human Colony worlds are in turmoil as they face extinction. Some believe alliances with other species can save them. Others insist humanity must fight alone. But no one has the firepower or technology to ensure victory, as the Architects loom ever closer.

Idris spent decades running from the last war’s horrors. Yet as an Intermediary, altered to navigate deep space, he’s one of humanity’s only weapons. He’s therefore forced back into action. With a handful of allies, Idris must find something – anything – to stop the Architects’ pitiless advance. But to do so, he must return to the nightmare of unspace, where his mind was broken and remade. What he discovers there will change everything.

The explosive Final Architecture trilogy concludes with Lords of Uncreation...

Repeating itself so many times.

Ok plot, vanilla space opera. But it should have been edited to half its length.

can wait for the next one

I have enjoyed both books in the series so far and can't wait for the finale. The series has been a great space opera on par with the Children of Time. I will be recommending it to others who I know enjoy the genre. Also I love the voice work, great job keeping all the characters straight. I don't know how she does it.

Wonderfully inventive world building

A strange and compelling vision of the far future. Some of Tchaikovsky's best work, a step up from the first book. Excited to move straight on to book 3!

Verbose, repetitive mystery box.

Two thirds of the book is literally just rehashing the same 4-5 thing in nearly identical words. The only thing that kept me going was the hope that some big reveal will make it all worth while in the end.... spoiler alert.... there is no reveal
