Exciting news as Pan Macmillan have revealed the new Children of Strife cover
This is the highly anticipated fourth book in the multi-award winning and multi-award nominated Children of Time series and will be released from 12 March 2026.
In this epic adventure, we visit a far-future after earth fell, where ark ships had hunted for a new home. They sought lost worlds terraformed in earth’s forgotten past. We follow a ship crewed by maverick humans, spiders and a spectacularly punchy mantis shrimp captain as they rediscover one such world, and an ark.
Then human crewmate Alis wakes to discover that she, her captain and the ship’s intelligence are the only ones left on their ship. But what happened to those who left to explore the ark . . . and the world below?
Exciting news as Universal Pictures announces it will be developing Adrian's novella Saturation Point (2024 Winner of the British Science Fiction Award) for the big screen.

Adrian says, "I'm absolutely over the moon that this has come about. I feel that Saturation Point is one of my most grounded and film-able works and I'm intrigued to see how the project develops."
