About this listen
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....

Narration let's this story down.
Needed a better narrator to do this book justice. I married a Geordie so I must like the accent! but not for this particular story.

Vegans dream?
Wouldn't say it's bad but it is confusing, mixes of different religions and also doesn't explain what the chosen are until the very end of the book and it still isn't clear, are they human or are they mutated cows?

Fabulous from Start to Finish
Loved this book when I read it in print form many years ago. It is fantastic as an audiobook! The narrators voice, the voices he does for characters and his accent bring the book to life in every way. Cannot recommend highly enough!
