The Eden trilogy is a remarkable achievement: with wit, insight and invention Beckett has imagined a scientific Genesis not just about a society, but about the culture and myths that sustain it. It is both politically astute and theologically compelling.



Chris Beckett is a genius



Eden is building into one of most vivid and fascinating places in modern SF.



Mother of Eden is a masterpiece



A classic theme, beautifully told



A captivating and haunting book



Stunning... Arthur C. Clarke award-winner Beckett depicts frail human beings struggling with often overwhelming emotional trauma and occasionally achieving redemption, set against the backdrop of an indifferent universe. The result is a brilliantly different take on what it means to be alive in the 21st century.
