Adrian Czajkowski (spelled as Adrian Tchaikovsky for his books) is a British fantasy and science fiction author. He is known best for his series Shadows of the Apt, and for his novel Children of Time.[1]

Children of Time was awarded the 30th Arthur C. Clarke Award in 2016. Author James Lovegrove described it as “superior stuff, tackling big themes – gods, messiahs, artificial intelligence, alienness – with brio”.[2]
