STOPMOUTH AND HIS family know of no other life than the daily battle to survive. To live, they must hunt rival species, or negotiate flesh-trade with those who crave meat of the freshest human kind. It is a savage, desperate existence. And for Stopmouth, considered slowwitted hunt-fodder by his tribe, the future looks especially bleak. But then, on the day he is callously betrayed by his brother, a strange and beautiful woman falls from the sky. It is a moment that will change his destiny, and that of all humanity, forever. With echoes of Tarzan, Conan the Barbarian, and The Truman Show, Peadar Ó Guilín’s debut is an action—and idea-packed—blockbuster that will challenge your perceptions of humanity and leave you hungry for more.
Life is a brutal struggle for the young hunter Stopmouth in this intense and thought-provoking adventure. Ruled by the law of "Eat or be Eaten," Stopmouth's Tribe must kill and consume the rival species that inhabit their post-apocalyptic world. When hunting fails, sacrificial "volunteers" are exchanged with other species. Considered weak because of his stutter, Stopmouth faces becoming a volunteer but is protected by his older brother, Wallbreaker. Despite the savagery and danger, Stopmouth finds meaning in living honorably for the Tribe. But Stopmouth's world is shattered when Wallbreaker takes credit for the success of Stopmouth's hunt and uses his new reputation to become Chief. Stopmouth faces more upheaval when one of the mechanical globes that hover in the sky crashes. From the wreckage emerges Indrani, a strange, fierce, and beautiful woman who finds the Tribe's flesh-eating repulsive. Eventually Stopmouth and Indrani form a close bond, and he learns she is hiding a devastating secret that could hold the key to the Tribe's survival. When Stopmouth and Indrani are exiled by Wallbreaker, they embark on a perilous journey to Indrani's world to save both Indrani and the Tribe. Compelling and exciting, this novel draws readers into Stopmouth's world and makes them consider how far they would go for survival. The numerous action scenes do get tiresome and the lack of resolution is frustrating, but the tale is perfect for readers who crave a adventure with a dash of philosophy. Reviewer: Amy Luedtke
