He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it?Lords of Uncreation is the final high-octane instalment in the Final Architecture space opera trilogy. From Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time and winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award.Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything – the Architects’ 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 galaxy’s great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror.Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idris’ 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 isn’t quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanity’s daring – and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of Fractal NoiseReaders love Lords of Uncreation:‘The whole trilogy is amazing . . . Do not miss any of the three books’‘The layers of mystery are carefully revealed’‘A perfect close in ways I could never have imagined’

From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, which won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. 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.

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.‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of Fractal NoiseReaders love Eyes of the Void:‘The writing is pacy, the science superb, and the characters complex and hugely engaging’‘A rollercoaster, couldn't put it down’‘He captures the intricacy and scale of a fully formed universe with style and pace’
