title: Children of the Divide (Children of a Dead Earth)
author:  Patrick S. Tomlinson 
description: &ldquo;An absolutely shining example of using SF to hold a mirror up to our own society&hellip; one of the most powerful tools of science fiction, and Tomlinson wields it here like both a scalpel and a shotgun.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Strange Currencies<br></b><br>&ldquo;New mysteries, action and conspiracies &ndash; 4 stars.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Books in Brogan<br></b><br>I&rsquo;ve always said Tomlinson wrote imaginative, interesting books that more people should read. I&rsquo;ll say it again now. This is intelligent science fiction, with interesting thoughts on the broader human condition, wrapped in an absolutely smashing story.<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews<br></b><br>&ldquo;An interesting sci-fi novel with analogies to current events,&#160;<i>Children of the Divide</i>&#160;is intriguing and fun with memorable characters and situations.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;The Bibliotaph<br></b><br>&ldquo;A thrilling entry in the series. 4.75/5 stars&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;The Mad Professah Lectures<br></b><br>PRAISE FOR THE <i>CHILDREN OF A DEAD EARTH </i>SERIES<i><br></i><b><br> </b>&ldquo;There is so much good stuff wrapped inside&#160;<i>The Ark</i>: a locked-room murder mystery, bare-knuckle action, and the kind of hard-boiled science fiction that will make your brain pop. Climb aboard...&rdquo;<br> &#160;&#160; <b>Adam Rakunas</b>,&#160;author of&#160;<i>Windswept</i><br> &#160;<br> &ldquo;This is the story I wish I had written. Generation ship. Detective story. Tomlinson takes such discordant elements and weaves them into a fascinating story: a Manet painting, advanced probes, exoplanet imaging, and more. I&rsquo;m hoping that this is the start of a new subgenre: detectives in space!&rdquo;<br> &#160;&#160;<b> J Daniel Batt</b>, author of <i>Young Gods: A Door Into Darkness</i><br><br>&ldquo;Another amazing&#160;story with all the twists and turns I&rsquo;ve come to expect from Patrick S. Tomlinson. &#160;With a great mix of science fiction, action and mystery it is wonderfully written and it&rsquo;s not &ldquo;world&rdquo; building but as&#160;the author said it&rsquo;s &lsquo;race building&rsquo;, &#160;so don&rsquo;t miss out on the turbulent ups and downs that had me undeniably hooked throughout the entire thing.&rdquo;<br>&ndash;&#160;<b>Books in Brogan</b><br><br>&ldquo;A solid read, and one I definitely recommend.&rdquo;<br>&ndash;&#160;<b>Strange Currencies</b><br><br>&ldquo;I could not put&#160;<i>Trident&rsquo;s Forge</i>&#160;down, and read it in one marathon sitting. That is as much due to the writing style and characters as the non-stop, nail-biting story thread. If you&rsquo;re an outer space sci-fi geek like I am, you&rsquo;re going to love this series!&rdquo;<br>&ndash;&#160;<b>Popcorn Reads</b>
