Bloomsbury presents Pretenders to the Throne of God, read by David Thorpe and written and introduced by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Arthur C. Clarke winner and Sunday Times bestseller returns to a world steeped in magic – and the Tyrant Philosophers' campaign to bring reason, logic and ‘perfection’ to it.

As the Palleseen’s campaign to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world rages on, Eres Ffenegh – “the City on the Back of a Crab” – is the next state slated for conquest. But its citizens won’t give up sovereignty easily.

The siege has dragged into winter and the defenders – both locals and Pal renegades – hold an uneasy alliance against the enemy at the gates, while the Pal army is looking over its shoulder for the next self-destructive dictate of their government back home.

Within the city, Devil Jack, a good man apprenticed to the notorious conjurer known as the Widow, is driven to bargaining with hell to get back what he’s lost. Meanwhile Kiffel ea Leachan is the city’s champion, a child of privilege who’s just lost everything to the invaders. Both must try to survive the siege and make their own destinies in a world that’s cut them loose.

Outside the city, Pal reinforcements have arrived to take the city, but it’s the sort of help that might just damn them all...

Kritikerstimmen

Tchaikovsky’s Tyrant Philosophers series is not only his best work, but a major work of modern fantasy (Abigail Nussbaum)
Quite simply, 'The Tyrant Philosophers' is one of the best fantasy series of recent years, if not in this century, and Pretenders to the Throne of God is another worthy addition to the series combining great characters with great world-building, and is full of heart, emotion and dark humour
'A great instalment in the series’
'Pretenders to the Throne of God is Adrian Tchaikovsky at his most confident. It’s a siege novel that feels vast and intimate at once, built from a mosaic of perspectives that somehow lock together with unnerving precision... Brutal, clever, bleakly funny, and endlessly humane. A masterpiece of character-driven epic fantasy, and the strongest entry in the Tyrant Philosophers saga so far.'
Praise for The Tyrant Philosophers Series:

City of Last Chances is the love child of Night Watch by Terry Pratchett and Hav by Jan Morris while being entirely its own thing with a polyphonic narrative... Don't even read the review. Just go get it.' - The Middle Shelf

'Quite simply superb, diplomatic and political shenanigans edge towards brutal all-out war in this darkly intricate and original novel.' LoveReading, Star Book

'Exceptional.... Not to be missed' - Publishers Weekly, Starred review

'Dense, dark, ingenious, ironic, complex, often funny, and always smart'

Adrian Tchaikovsky books read by David Thorpe are absolute masterpieces.

This audiobook had me sitting in my car in front of my house for an hour more than once because I couldn’t stop listening. It made me laugh out loud many times, gave me goosebumps, and even made me cry once or twice.

Thank you so, so much for this. I hope the series will continue for years.
