'Vivid, visceral and with a strength of the voice that just pulls me right in. The god-littered world of David Mogo's Lagos just won't let go.' -- Jeannette Ng, author of Under the Pendulum Sun "A number of books have been termed 'godpunk,' but Suyi Davies Okungbowa's novel may be the subgenre's platonic deific ideal, from its title to its plot to its terse but vivid prose... Assured and arch, unsettling and thoroughly enjoyable-an auspicious debut from one of the most promising new voices in the growing coterie of African SFF writers." -- Peter Rubin * Wired Magazine * 'This is a refreshing take on urban fantasy, and definitely worth a look.' -- Mhairi White 'I did not know I was a fan of the Nigerian Godpunk genre, but this book convinced me!' * Horner's Book Corner * 'It's a fun fresh ride brimful of adventure, showcasing great new talent. Wholeheartedly recommend if you love Zen Cho, Tade Thompson or Nnedi Okorafor.' -- Liz de Jager, author of the Blackhart Legacy trilogy 'A Nigerian Harry Dresden. Okungbowa's voice is great, and makes Lagos feel familiar.' -- Jacey Bedford, author of Winterwood 'A riveting debut... this story is captivating.' * Publishers Weekly * A fantastic adventure of gods and mortals-highly recommended -- Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand
