#FinishedReading one of my absolute favourites as a child when I first got old enough to raid my parents' bookshelves, so a huge nostalgia hit for me in this. This is a classic 70s first contact #SciFi story and fortunately stands up great to re-reading as an adult, apart from the almost total lack of female characters, which I notice these days but I guess didn't concern me as a preteen boy. Still, inventive, surprising, and lots of fun. #Bookstodon@bookstodon#LarryNiven#JerryPournelle

I am stuck at page 45. One of the books which make me do half an hour googling after reading a single page :)
I'm going to have this one in the "currently reading" slot for a while.
Shards of Earth, The Final Architecture series by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
It has not been destroyed, it's been architected!
AT is a prolific writer and this has been an enjoyable book by the man. Not in the vein of Children of Time, but good still.
