Summary
They thought we were safe. They were wrong.
Adrian Tchaikovsky brought us far-future adventure with Children of Time. Now The Doors of Eden takes us from Bodmin Moor to London and alternate versions of earth. This is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a compelling listen.
Lee and Mal went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor four years ago, and only Lee came back. She thought she’d lost Mal forever, now miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has Mal been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn’t gone unnoticed by MI5 either, and their officers have questions.
Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power – and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor.
Dr Khan’s research was theoretical. Then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors come crashing open, anything could come through . . .
'Inventive, funny and engrossing, this book lingers long after you close it' - Tade Thompson, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Rosewater

A brilliant, angry and pointed novel
A scream of frustration at human pettiness and selfish and a fierce reminder that we're at our best we we look at what we have in common. Unity saves. Devision destroys.
Tchaikovsky does it again and Sophie Aldred effortlessly bring his novel to life.

Great Scifi
Occasionally a book comes along that you can't put down. This is one of those. Interest all the way through.

Great
I have read / listened to several or Adrian Tchaikovsky’s books now and this was probably the best. The interludes of alternative timelines and the different paths of evolution were themselves worthy the listen, but there was also a decent story stringing the whole thing together. The performance was also great; the accents were decent and didn’t make me cringe. Buy it.

Excellent allegorical adventure
Fast-moving speculative adventure with some thinly-veiled parallels to our world, ironically enough. Brilliantly narrated by Sophie Aldred - looking forward to finding more of her work on here.

Mind boggingly good!
Great story that really makes you think just how small we are in the universe, or universes! Great performance by the narrator and really good storyline, will purchase the next instalment with my next credit!

Another awesome book by Mr T
Plenty of books have the parallel universe thing going, but this is a different beast. Mr Tchaikovsky is an irritatingly good writer. As fun a story as anything else he’s written.
Performance is spot on. So many books are spoiled by utter crap narration. But Sophie does an amazing job, and can turn even a mediocre storyline into something worth listening to.

Adrian Tchaikovsky at his best!
I knew within half an hour that this would be one of the really good ones. Sophie Aldred is a stellar performer, and gives more dimension(s) to already rounded characters.

Weird and Wonderful, A Bizarre Epic
I'm a massive fan of Tchaikovsky, thoroughly enjoyed all this books, highly imaginative and a superb storyteller, - he's definitely one of the tops. For me, Doors of Eden is his very best, a new weird masterpiece telling the tale of two girlfriends and their discovery of opening doorways to alternate Earth's, mixed in with various agency factions and incredible, if bizarre, creatures.
A truly brilliant novel, perfect for fans of Alastair Reynolds, China Mieville, and Stephen Baxter to name three, the narrator of this audiobook version if very good too.

Beautiful parable - highly recommended
I loved this book. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but this is not the monsters on the moor adventure you might expect from the description on Audible. It is a beautiful story, complex yet engagingly told, and excellently narrated. At the time of listening I felt like I could do with something uplifting at a difficult time for the world. I expected the book to be good. What I didn’t expect was it to be such an uplifting, joyful parable showing what we might achieve if we could learn to get along with those who seem different to ourselves.

A triumph of innovative sci-fi and perspective
Having been thoroughly impressed with Children of time and loving how Tchaikovsky writes from wildly different points of view in that book this is very similar he can somehow put himself in others shoes and write from their perspective.
He also writes from a women's perspective in many cases and always seems comfortable in that role.
The plot had some hole's in it but trotted away at a good pace and never felt drawn out or too unrealistic but he develops character's and role's very well.
All in all a good read 😃
