Terrible Worlds: Destinations (Terrible Worlds: Destinations) [Tchaikovsky, Adrian]

Author: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Three acclaimed novellas by the Arthur C. Clarke-award-winning "British master of science fiction"

The Future Is The Journey.

The vastness of space, the endless ribbon of time, worlds beyond our own: humanity has always been driven to explore, to pass the horizon and enter the unknown. For too many, that drive is what ultimately destroys us.

In three critically-acclaimed novellas, the "British master of science fiction" (Reactor) takes you into a mysterious artefact at the edge of the Solar system, to the very last day of time, into a world apparently born of children's stories, with fearless - and sometimes hapless - explorers... and shows us why sometimes it's best to stay at home.

Collecting Tchaikovsky's critically acclaimed novellas Walking to Aldebaran (2019), One Day All This Will Be Yours (2021) and And Put Away Childish Things (2023) for the first time, Terrible Worlds: Destinations gives you three glimpses of the limits of reality.
