Children of Time

Hook:

Wall-E meets Starship Troopers, not exactly!

Plot Summary

Humans seeking a new home to live on, run against a terraformed earth like planet being protected by Dr. Kern and her satellite, a thousands of year old relic of the mighty, multiplanetary human empire.

The spiders on the planet have evolved into much more by Dr. Kern's nano-virus experiment originally intended for monkeys.

Praise:

Very original tale out of cliché Sci-Fi tropes like destroyed planet and giant spiders. Loved the way author managed to this.

Strong character development for certain characters.

Amazing twist, makes me anticipate the next book.

Critique:

Motivation for certain characters is not justified.

Destruction of the human empire is quite not believable and could have been explored and justified a bit more.

Story emphasizes the view point of a certain character too much the pay off is not there or the character is really dull.

Recommendation:

Highly recommended!
