I nominate Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Kindle UK £4.24 + an optional 2.99 for an audio addition
Kindle US $5.46
Apple €4.99 for the ebook. iBooks provides the Audible edition for €22.99
Audible UK 1 credit or £2.99 with purchase of the ebook.

I’m reading it at the moment and it is wonderful. The blurb doesn’t really convey how original it is. Spiders are great!

Amazon review:

“Adrian Tchaikovksy's critically acclaimed novel Children of Time, is the epic story of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet.

“Who will inherit this new Earth? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age – a world terraformed and prepared for human life.

“But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare.

“Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?”
