The Themis Files Trilogy by Sylvian Neuvel

Continuing on with our series recommendations for the Christmas holidays, this is a trilogy which is written entirely in form of interviews and blogs making it a really interesting read. Science fiction but set in contemporary world, I loved the story arc over the three books – Sleeping Giants, Waking Gods and Only Human.

What would happen if we discovered a huge ancient alien robot with pieces scattered all over the world which was designed only to be discovered when we, as a civilisation, had advanced technologically a certain distance? What would happen when we finally put all the pieces together? Would the human race be able to face the consequences?

If you love science and the ’what if’ questions, this is the trilogy for you. Plus the covers are amazing!
