Why read it?

1 author picked The Doors of Eden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I toyed with recommending a different book by Adrian Tchaikovsky for this but ultimately went with this one because it is one of the most wildly imaginative books I’ve ever read. Tchaikovsky could have settled for speculating on one or two different evolutionary alternate histories of Earth, but nah. He went for ten.

I was so drawn into the way he developed societies around which species had become the surviving dominant in each timeline, from the trilobites to the rodents and everything in between. This book takes the question “What if?” and chucks it out the window with the strength…

Book cover of Unreachable Skies

Unreachable Skies By Karen McCreedy,

This book (and its sequels) are about overcoming the odds; about learning to improve the skills and abilities you have, rather than dwelling on what you can't do. Conflict, plague, and scheming politicians are all featured along the way–but none of the characters are human!
