The Hungry Gods

By: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrated by: Emma Newman

The Gods have returned to the world.

Amri was a Rabbit, one of a tribe of survivors scratching out an existence in the blasted landscape of a shattered, poisoned world. The Seagull fight, the Pigeon trade and the Cockroach scavenge, but the Rabbit had one rule: If you want to see tomorrow, you run.

But they didn't run fast enough when a weapon fell from the sky and consumed their home, and now Amri is alone, in the company of a fallen god named Guy Vesten. A god who promises revenge against the three gods who turned against him, and who killed her tribe.

But gods don't die easily. Guy will need followers, like any god, and warriors to aid him in his quest. And if Amri is to find a place in the world that is to come, she may as well be standing at his right hand, as his priestess....

love the ending!

the slow build of learning to overcome bigotry was great, but the end was the best! Not as intricate as Tchaikovsky usually is, but a delicious and timely fable.

loved this one

I love Adrian Tchiakovsky books already and thought this was above average, even for him

Tchaikovsky fan

I mean, im a Tchaikovsky fan so I listen to all his stuff. This one was good, Elder Race is another short story, also excellent.

One of his best!

For such a small book, this packs quite a punch! His ability to characterize human foibles is unsurpassed as always. The narrator brought it all alive- what a sincere voice-perfect relative to the ending. “Pride goes before the fall”. I’ll be listening to this one again.
