Book Description
All is in turmoil as the world moves towards war. In Solarno, the spies watch each other and ready their knives, while Myna sees the troops muster at its border and emotions run high as it vows never to be enslaved again. In Collegium, the students argue politics, too late to turn the tide. In the heart of the Empire, new pilots have completed their secretive training, generals are being recalled to service and armies are ready to march. Their Empress, the heir to two worlds, intends to claim her birthright. And nothing – either within the Empire or beyond it – will stand in her way. A conflict is coming, the like of which the insect-kinden have never seen. Praise for the Shadows of the Apt series: ‘Reminiscent of much that’s gone before from the likes of Gemmel, Erikson, Sanderson and Cook but with its own unique and clever touch . . .Terrific’ Sci-Fi-London.com ‘Full of colourful drama and non-stop action’ FantasyBookCritic blog

Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Lincolnshire before heading off to Reading to study psychology and zoology. For reasons unclear even to himself he subsequently ended up in law and has worked as a legal executive in both Reading and in Leeds, where he now lives. Married, he is a keen live role-player and occasional amateur actor. He has trained in stage-fighting and keeps no exotic or dangerous pets of any kind, possibly excepting his son.

This installment number 8 out of ten, is a stand alone volume focusing on the apt air cops, updates of how Seda has taking control of the wasps, more on known and new characters. Searches for more inapt magic, while leaving out some main movers which i'm sure will come together as we begin to reach the end of the series, the pace of the story is relentless, the action full on, the plots thickening, what more could you ask for a volume of shadows of the apt?

It seems like Tchaikovsky preparing for the end and this great series but all in all it was a great sequel to the series. you can feel the same quality of the writing skills.

The plot continues
Follows on the story line from previous books. Don't buy this as a standalone as you won't know who most of the characters are. Sadly, was hoping to see more of the neice. Read more
