The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky Book review of The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky deftly brings in themes of evolution, prejudice, he explores the Many Worlds Theory, and he blends together multiple genres seamlessly. And these parallel timelines sometimes bleed into each other, to the delight of cryptid hunters and derision of the scientific minds — at least for a while. After an hour of walking they saw Roberts’ big grey-blue car, muddy and battered and in the middle of a field.Mal’s reappearance hasn’t gone unnoticed by MI5 officers either, and Lee isn’t the only one with questions.

They both saw it: a hunched, prickly shape, with a suggestion of limbs, of wings that were more like arms despite the ragged sleeves of plumage. From a young age I’ve been fascinated by the idea of deep time, the millions of years of life that passed before ever a human eye opened to examine the world. The Doors of Eden is a terrific timeslip / lost world romp in the grand tradition of Turtledove, Hoyle, even Conan Doyle.Her work is considered sensitive enough she is constantly being monitored by the United Kingdom’s (UK) security forces under the careful watch of Julian Sabreur, a stolid and very middle of the road intelligence officer. The real antagonist of the story is the heat death of the universe, but Lucas is the right-hand man of another man who isn’t improving things.
