Recently finished _Children of Ruin_, the second book in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series. They use the concept of #uplifting of non-human animals to
1. show how hard it would be to communicate with aliens (as finding common ground for communication with earth born intelligences is still very difficult)
2. take the time to find that common understanding rather than rashly resorting to violence

Rereading #ChildrenOfRuin by @aptshadow and completely forgot about some great horror moments about halfway through the book. (spoilers, obviously)

During lockdown I rediscovered my love of reading - fortunately stumbling across #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar, which I loved and reminded a bit me of the #JoeHaldeman #ForeverWar series. Which led me to the #Bobiverse books by #DennisETaylor which I LOVED. I'm looking for suggestions. Currently on #TermsOfEnlistment by #MarkoKloos & enjoying so far. I like #AndyWeir, #PoulAnderson and I'll always read anything in the #Dune universe. Really liked #ChildrenOfTime, #ChildrenOfRuin & #DogsOfWar / #BearHead by #AdrianTchaikovsky. Enjoyed #TheThreeBodyProblem, but The Dark Forest has left me in the weeds a bit (will return for another go at some point). Genuinely looking for suggestions!
