* THREE DARK NOVELLAS BY THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CHILDREN OF TIME SERIES * 'A must-read for genre newbies and die-hard sci-fi fans alike' - STARBURST 'The worlds next to ours may be filled with darkness' - LIBRARY JOURNAL 'Shows us yet again how versatile are his writing and storytelling' - CIVILIAN READER 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.
Whether into space, through time or into other worlds, humanity has always yearned to explore. In three critically-acclaimed novellas, Tchaikovsky shows you worlds beyond the known... and why it's sometimes best to stay at home.
