Ahoy there mateys! I received this sci-fi eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. So here be me honest musings . . .
Title: one day this will all be yours
Author: Adrian Tchaikovsky
Publisher: Rebellion / Solaris
Publication Date: TOMORROW !!! (hardback/e-book)
ISBN: 978-1781087060
Source: NetGalley
Adrian Tchaikovsky’s work is always enjoyable so when I saw time travel and dinosaur I said Arrrr! This was exactly as expected. It was a quick and humorous read where the mechanics of the time travel made me noggin ache a little but I had a lot of fun.
The grumpy ex-soldier standing at the end of the broken world and broken time is a hoot. How he spends his time (pun intended hardy har har!) is just delightful. Sure he is crazy but that be part of the fun. And the dinosaur is just plain awesome. It’s short at 192 pages but it was silly good. The plot did bog down just a tad. But that was very, very minor. Recommended.
So lastly . . .
Thank ye kindly Rebellion / Solaris!
Side Note: Keep working on his backlist. Arrr!
Goodreads has this to say about the novel:
Welcome to the end of time. It’s a perfect day.
Nobody remembers how the Causality War started. Really, there’s no-one to remember, and nothing for them to remember if there were; that’s sort of the point. We were time warriors, and we broke time.
I was the one who ended it. Ended the fighting, tidied up the damage as much as I could.
Then I came here, to the end of it all, and gave myself a mission: to never let it happen again.

I agree, Cap – this one was a lot of fun! And while there is often slightly ironic humour in the form of unintended consequences, this was plain funny, if rather dark…

Sounds like an amusing premise! I hadn’t read any of Tchaikovsky’s work before, so maybe this would be a good one to start with.

His books are so weird but good. This one would be a good place to start as I think it is pretty accessible. Plus I haven’t seen a negative review of it yet from any of the crew, Arrr!

That’s great to know, thanks! I’ve hesitated starting his books so far because many of them are longer and/or part of a series and they got intimidating.
