Completely off-topic:

Did not anticipate how hard "We're going on an adventure" would hit me with feelings of horror after reading "Children of Ruin". Good work Tchaikovsky. Holy shit that mix of possession and zombie-horror with perfectly natural explanations in a hard scifi scenario really did a job on me, even years after finishing the book.

Ha! I just made the exact same comment. It had the same effect on me too.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

No, really, the books are quite broadly known among the very narrow group of hard sci-fi fans.
