We are thrilled to share the cover for Elder Race, a brand new sci-fi fantasy crossover adventure from Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of The Expert System’s Brother! Elder Race will be available from Tordotcom Publishing on November 16, 2021.

A junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe.

Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way.

But Elder Nyr isn’t a sorcerer, and he is forbidden to help, for his knowledge of science tells him the threat cannot possibly be a demon…
