Children of Time is a space opera chronicling humanity’s migration from an uninhabitable Earth to a terraformed exoplanet. The only problem with this plan is that their new home has been occupied by genetically modified spiders for thousands of years. These arachnoids evolved and thrived with the help of an AI version of a human who worked on the terraforming project.
The 2015 novel won the Arthur C. Clarke Award. The 2019 sequel Children of Ruin won the BSFA Award for Best Novel. Children of Memory, the third book in the series, was published in 2023, the same year Children of Time received the Hugo Award for Best Series.
In addition to the strangely low price, there’s another peculiar detail about the Children of Time Box Set: The advertised page count appears to be way underselling the length of the first three books.
Store pages at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and several other retailers list the page count for the box set as 1,136. This is almost certainly a typo, because the total page count for the hardcover editions of Books 1-3 is 1,664. Children of Time is 608 pages; Children of Ruin is 576 pages; and Children of Memory is 480 pages. It’s possible that the new hardcover editions aren’t exactly the same as the originals, but the books appear to be roughly the same length and width, so the total page count should be somewhere around 1,700.
