Exploration at the edge of the possible

This collection brings together three novellas—Walking to Aldebaran, One Day All This Will Be Yours, and And Put Away Childish Things—in a sequence of journeys that push beyond familiar boundaries. Their settings range from a mysterious artefact near the Solar System to the final day of time and a world that seems to come from children’s stories. Across these distinct speculative landscapes, exploration is linked with danger and the limits of what can be known. The volume offers three self-contained encounters with the unknown, gathered around a shared question: what might humanity’s urge to venture further cost?

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Science-fiction readers interested in space exploration and unfamiliar worlds
  • Readers who prefer collections of novellas to a single continuous narrative
  • Those curious about stories that connect exploration with risk and the limits of reality

Book overview

Three acclaimed novellas by the Arthur C. Clarke-award-winning "British master of science fiction"

The Future Is The Journey.

The vastness of space, the endless ribbon of time, worlds beyond our own: humanity has always been driven to explore, to pass the horizon and enter the unknown. For too many, that drive is what ultimately destroys us.

In three critically-acclaimed novellas, the "British master of science fiction" (Reactor) takes you into a mysterious artefact at the edge of the Solar system, to the very last day of time, into a world apparently born of children's stories, with fearless - and sometimes hapless - explorers... and shows us why sometimes it's best to stay at home.

Collecting Tchaikovsky's critically acclaimed novellas Walking to Aldebaran (2019), One Day All This Will Be Yours (2021) and And Put Away Childish Things (2023) for the first time, Terrible Worlds: Destinations gives you three glimpses of the limits of reality.
