    About this audiobook

    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 tip-toe 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.

      One of those books that's so bad you keep reading to find out what's going to happen and if it's going to get any worse.Unfortunately only at the end do you realise it's actually a mid-series book which is perhaps why it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Even at the end I didn't really understand the world. The basis seems to be that Rupert Wong is/was a chef and has been resurrected ish to cook food for his Boss - some form of ghoul. For some reason he also gets involved with a bunch of gods from various pantheons some of which I hadn't heard of. It starts in SIngapore before moving to london and greek gods - no idea why they are there. There's lots of gore - really huge amounts of bodies being cut up etc. TBC

      There was some really cool ideas in this book, and some of the writing was truly outstanding, but it just went all over the place and got so confusing and hard to follow and understand that I finally just gave up. Too many other books waiting to read to work that hard.
