    About this audiobook

    Eleven years after its original publication, this is the third edition of D'Lacey's cult hit, containing an introduction by Michael Wilson and a brand-new foreword by the author.

    In Abyrne, a strange town surrounded by a wasteland, the eating of meat is a sacred obligation. The town's strict laws are brutally enforced by a ruthless Baron and a merciless Bishop. Adored by the townsfolk is Richard Shanti, Abyrne's famous bolt-gunner – the most efficient slaughterhouse worker in living memory. In private, however, Shanti is a gentle man; a husband, and father to twin girls. The growing guilt about his murderous job weighs him down. Beguiled by a rebellious heretic, Shanti uncovers the harrowing truth behind Abyrne's history. When the town's corporate and religious factions come into conflict, he must choose a side. By fighting for what he knows is right, Shanti will risk everything and everyone he loves. Meanwhile, the townsfolk are hungry. The townsfolk must be fed…

      Definitely written by a man. Poor, over-sexualised descriptions of women and children.

      For what started out as what I thought was going to be a 5 star and VERY disturbing and creepy written story....took that left turn down the street called Stupidity and became very predictable and boring. I really did NOT care about these characters at all once the creep and disgust left the pages. Would not and cannot recommend this waste of time. Sorry.
      2.5 Blah, blah blahs

      Not for me. Didn't like the characters, the writing style, the story. The narrator however was great.
    • 5/5
      Big vegan and religious undertones but an amazing read. I would probably never forget this book.
