Terrible Worlds Revolutions #3
by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Ogres are bigger than you.
Ogres are stronger than you.
Ogres rule the world.
It's always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call.
Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. It's always been that way. It's the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes.
But when the headman's son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlord's son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.
"A twisty social satire." ―Publishers Weekly
"Tchaikovsky knocks it out the park… a gripping, sardonic story that sticks the landing perfectly." ―Locus
"Tchaikovsky plays with the readers expectations, plucking at the strings of intrigue and thrusting out familiar allusions to lull us into a false sense of security… This novel can easily stand proud with dystopian novels such as Orwell's 1984 or Margaret Atwood's dystopian Maddaddam Trilogy." ―Fantasy Hive
"Classic Tchaikovsky with its interwoven complex themes, but also departs from his previous works into something more naturally dark and raw." ―Grimdark Magazine
