Adrian Tchaikovsky: Well, I have just finished the first chapter of a new book in a particular series...

Well, I have just finished the first chapter of a new book in a particular series...

Yay!

*excited palp waving*

THE GOOD NEWS I NEEDED TODAY

I feel this so much!!!

Are we going on an adventure?

Are these children EVER going to grow up?!?

Metaphysically speaking. Do children ever?

Big is sort of a *kind* of "up".

Well, then I would argue that Portia and her kin kind of grew up.

Well they *go* up... that's for sure!

This is fantastic news, sir! Thank you for the announcement!

I look forward to having my mind forcibly expanded again!

👀👀👀👀👀👀

Whaaaaaaaat?

!!!!!!

Spiders, sea creatures, and birds oh my.

OH MY GOD!!!!

!!!!!

I don't know if you have any control over this aspect of your books, and obviously it's a ways away, but Mel Hudson is such an incredible narrator for this series, I hope she's able to read the audiobook for this one as well.

I am hoping she’ll be available for the narration.

Oh YES

THERE'S GONNA BE MORE?!?!

The best news...and I think a lot of us could use a boost right about now. This is my favourite sci-fi book series and I'm absolutely going to read them all again before the next one comes out!!! The second book still gives me chills. "We're going on an adventure!" 🐙

Yessssss

😊

Cool - I loved the previous ones!

Can't wait to see how I'll react to book 4! My reaction to book 1: wow, such bright eyes optimism, so refreshing! My reaction to book 2: wow, such bright eyes optimism, so refreshing! My reaction to book 3:

Oh, thank you so much. These books were a joy for me to read. Looking forward to its publish date. Thanks again.

You just have to remind me of my tbr list don't you... Just Memory left....

Fine. I guess I can make space … ;)

Woohoo!

Having just been bought the first for Fathers Day I should be ready for that by the time it's published.

More spiders? Bring em on!

I'm assuming I have time to read the previous three again before pu lication

Earliest publication possible would be some time 2026...

OK, I can read quicker than that 👍

Is that a scheduling thing (books XY & Z are in the queue first) or "we have to do AB & C to the book to get it ready"?

Mostly scheduling. Pan Mac have a new book from me for 2025. Also I have to write all the other chapters and that will take me a bit. :)

Given your rate of production, you'll probably have finished it by the time I've finished typing this. 😁

Ooooooohhhhhhh!!!!

Excellent news! Right just off to pick up Children of Memory. And it looks like I'll be starting a few other series too. FFS Adrian I only have so much spare time!

I’m stoked for this!

I knew this day was going to be better than expected.

Aaaaaaaaaa! I both love that feeling and adore this news of one of my favorites series.

I literally just finished a painting inspired by your latest children book. I’m not very good so it’s abstract but it’s essentially an engine “coming to life”. Very excited and open minded for the new one! Service Model was fantastic. Thank you for all your inspiring work.

This is pleasing indeed!

I read this tweet aloud and now I have an excited husband almost bouncing of the walls because of happiness
