Resumen del Editor

Paying off a debt to the gods is never easy. It's not unusual to work two jobs in this day and age, but sorcerer and former triad soldier Rupert Wong's life is more complicated than most. By day he makes human hors d'oeuvres for a dynasty of ghouls; by night he pushes pencils for the Ten Chinese Hells. Of course it never seems to be enough to buy him a new car - or his restless, flesh-eating-ghost girlfriend passage from the reincarnation cycle - until opportunity comes smashing through his window.

In Kuala Lumpur, where deities from a handful of major faiths tiptoe around each other and damned souls number in the millions, it's important to tread carefully. Now the Dragon King of the South wants to throw Rupert right in it. The ocean god's daughter and her once-mortal husband have been murdered, leaving a single clue: bloodied feathers from the Greek furies. It's a clue that could start a war between pantheons, and Rupert's stuck in the middle.

Success promises wealth, power, and freedom, and failure...doesn't.

This volume collects the stories "Rupert Wong: Cannibal Chef" and "Rupert Wong and the Ends of the Earth".

Great Book

I'm not sure the narrator did it justice. Bought in print to see for myself.

I Could not even finish this book past a couple of chapters. The narrator was not that great.

Cannibal chef, 'nuff said

Cassandra Khaw’s Food of the Gods comprises the first two volumes of her Rupert Wong trilogy (although the each one is technically a novella). The story begins in Malaysia and the second takes place in London. The universe in which the action takes place looks like 21st century Earth, but with all the old gods hanging out, like mobsters, with a penchant for consuming human flesh. Rupert Wong is the top cannibal chef in Kuala Lumpur by day and at night serves as a ‘detective/trouble shooter’ for a cabal of gods. He gets tasked with all sorts of odd, nearly impossible jobs.

Khaw’s universe consists mostly of clueless humans who end up on the evening’s dinner menu and narcissistic gods that either outdo most movie villains for vanity and grossness or are annoying foodies for human delicacies. What seems most unrealistic is that anyone can become a famous chef by working a second job. The main character, Rupert, is simply bounced around like a tennis ball.

The narration is okay with decent character distinction. Pacing is fine.
