“Children of Time” by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Children of Time is an epic sci-fi story following the very last attempt of humanity to survive our dying planet. Facing a race of intelligent spiders—mistakenly came to being because of humans’ technology—the biggest threat to men’s survival will be, unsurprisingly, themselves.
“Unsettled Ground” by Claire Fuller
Unsettled Ground is a beautiful and heart-wrenching tale of survival and disillusionment. Julius and Jeanie’s world shatters when their mother Dot dies, leaving them in a house they can’t keep nor pay for; without jobs, or money, or phones, or bank accounts and, most of all, without any explanation about why their life turned out to be the way it is.
