Autor Adrian Tchaikovsky
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 aug 2025

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…

Recenzii

A highly accomplished, rousing, satisfying, often humorous read, a parable about current-day Transhumanism, and where it's heading... Animal Farm for the social media generation
Tchaikovsky flirts with more theories in his writings, but he always comes back to the basics of science fiction and that is that humans can change planets and develop technology, but no good will ever come of that until we change ourselves
Tchaikovsky never wastes a word... He doesn't reach for cheap twists or over-explanation
The Hungry Gods is engaging, action packed, has a twist of horror and political satire that knows also when to deploy a very funny Muppet joke... It reminds us not to fall for the dream being sold but to look at the real agenda - profit and power
A modern parable, an apocalyptic myth about human nature
Addictive to read and hard to put down
Tchaikovsky's great for inventing weird, curious characters, and then letting them loose to play with one another, often violently
A thoroughly enjoyable romp full of spectacle and action, and one I have little hesitation in recommending
Both chilling and righteous
“Tchaikovsky focuses the taut story in such a way that every detail is relevant, building towards a climax that feels like a perfect pay-off.” -- SFX Magazine on Firewalkers
