About this listen
From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. Eyes of the Void is the second high-octane instalment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy.
‘Tchaikovsky's world-building is some of the best in modern sci-fi’ – New Scientist
What waits in the shadows as we fight our greatest foe?
After one great battle, the Architects disappeared. Yet humanity’s fragile peace is brief. For, forty years later, the galaxy’s greatest alien enemy has returned. This time, the artefacts that preserved entire worlds from destruction are ineffective. And no planet is safe.
The Human Colony worlds are in turmoil as they face extinction. Some believe alliances with other species can save them. Others insist humanity must fight alone. But no one has the firepower or technology to ensure victory, as the Architects loom ever closer.
Idris spent decades running from the last war’s horrors. Yet as an Intermediary, altered to navigate deep space, he’s one of humanity’s only weapons. He’s therefore forced back into action. With a handful of allies, Idris must find something – anything – to stop the Architects’ pitiless advance. But to do so, he must return to the nightmare of unspace, where his mind was broken and remade. What he discovers there will change everything.
The explosive Final Architecture trilogy concludes with Lords of Uncreation...

Sweeping imagination for Setting, but ...
Sweeping imagination for the universe backdrop. Mysterious and vividly imagined. There is nobody like the author for these sort of imaginative flights in the contemporary scene really. But characterization a little weak and the main character tedious and a little pathetic (not in a good way). Politics are very woke and sometimes get in the way of the scene building. I think some of this will date very quickly. Narration is very game with lots of voices and characters and I am sure this took lots of work but the voicing for Idris is dull (fitting the character) but this makes it very hard to listen to these segments. I can't quite work out if the narration is making this worse or if it is just problems of characterization. I struggle on for the ideas but these central problems get in the way of really enjoying all of this.

The "Empire Strikes Back" of Tchaikovsky's series
Again, Adrian brings us back to the hell of the Architects ever looming destruction and shows to that distrust, extremism, and a refusal to compromise, are as dangerous at the moon sized biomechanical alien death machines.
Again, Sophie Aldred effortlessly brings the books characters to life making each distinct from another. She's fast becoming my favourite Adrian's audiobooks narrators.
All in all another banger from the heir apperant to the throne left vacent by Arthur C. Clarke as the UK's greatest living science fiction writer. Roll on the fast approaching end of the trilogy.

Story is OK and keep you engaged.
The voices of characters, so annoying. Some voices are good but some are so bad that few times I almost quit listening. Storyteller has talent but dont know who choose character voices and why ...Enjoyed storyline but characters are very very stereotyped

Adrian writes like you're watching a blockbuster
Sophie Aldred is a brilliant narrator. I cannot stop listening and I'm so excited to hear what will happen in the next part of the series!

Parthenon for the win!
An excellent balance of mystic physics and action in this very believable space opera.

Great Continuation!
Loved it, start to finish. Great story, great voice-acting. Didn't drag at all in the middle, where a middle book in a trilogy might sometimes. Excited to move on to the next one!

I LOVE Adrian Chaikovsky
I do, I love all of his work. This series reminds me a lot of Iain M Banks and I particularly enjoy all of the concepts related to unspace. The only thing that’s less than ideal about this audiobook is my imagination can’t always keep up with the descriptions of different life forms and places and unlike in a paper book it’s much harder to go back and find the description again. So I think I’ll ‘eye read’ the next one so I don’t miss out.

Skillfully read!
I couldn’t wait to finish this book just to rebut one of the reviews here complaining about the narration. The narration is outstanding and one of the best out there considering the wide array of characters. Fantastic.
The story itself continues nicely on from the first book and the author did a good job dropping in hints about what happened previously in the early chapters so you get a bit of a recap.
Love the world and lore being built up. And cannot wait to find out what the hell unspace is for!

A solid sequel
Having read books 1 and 2 back to back this latter has less novelty but lacks none of the energy and drive of the first. A necessary read if you’ve read book 1
