The Final Architecture Trilogy
- By: Adrian Tchaikovsky
- Narrated by: Sophie Aldred
- Unabridged
The Final Architecture is a series of science fiction novels by British writer Adrian Tchaikovsky. It comprises Shards of Earth, Eyes of the Void, and Lords of Uncreation. The series focuses on a group of humans fighting against the mysterious Architects, who destroy inhabited planets. The series has been well-received critically, with Shards of Earth winning the 2021 BSFA Award for Best Novel.
The Architects are moon-sized creatures who destroy inhabited planets, including Earth. They will not attack planets with ruins from the mysterious Originator civilization. Only the Essiel, a species of aliens, know how to move Originator artifacts without destroying this protective effect. Many human colony planets vote to join the Essiel Hegemony in exchange for protection against the Architects.
Humans invent Intermediaries, a modified form of human that can fight Architects. Intermediary Idris Telemmier helps kill an Architect at Berlenhof, turning the tide of the conflict decades after the destruction of Earth. Later, he and other Intermediaries make contact with an Architect, which seems to notice humanity for the first time. After this, all of the Architects mysteriously disappear.
Shards of Earth[edit]
Decades later, conflict arises between the Parthenon (an all-female group of clones) and the Council of Human Interests, or Hugh. Myrmidon Executor Solace is ordered to find Idris and convince him to join the Parthenon. Idris is working as a salvager on the spaceship Vulture God. The crew also includes Olli, a disabled human who moves with the help of a device called the Scorpion, as well as Kittering, the crew's accountant and a member of the Hannilambra species. Solace helps save Idris from a kidnapping attempt and temporarily joins the crew.
Vulture God is hired by the Hegemony to search for a lost ship called the Oumaru. They find that it has been attacked by Architects. Both ships are then hijacked by the Broken Harvest crime syndicate, which is based out of the Hegemony. The crew follows Broken Harvest to the planet Tarekuma, where they reclaim their ship. In the process, they discover that the Oumaru was carrying Originator artifacts, which could protect an entire planet from Architects. They fly to the planet Jericho, where an archaeologist named Trine verifies the box’s authenticity. Broken Harvest attempts to kidnap the crew again, and eventually catches them near Berlenhof, capital of Hugh.
The Parthenon arrives to rescue Vulture God’s crew from Broken Harvest. As the Parthenon and Hugh fight over the fate of Idris and the Originator relics, an Architect appears at Berlenhof. The Parthenon and Idris take the artifacts to meet it. The Architect takes the artifacts from the ship. Idris manages to contact the Architect and learns that some unknown force is directing them to destroy inhabited planets. The Architect leaves the system. Idris and the crew agree to join the Parthenon, hoping to create a new group of Intermediaries before the Architects return.
