![]() ![]() The more it gets to know about the real world, the more shocked and disgusted it is. ![]() It´s great how the deity is irritated by the way humans invented many rules, holy books, misused its name for product placement and branding, institutionalized torture and holy wars, and in general, didn´t take the advice it gave to them seriously. However it seems no one actually believes in Om as the citizens of Omnia are more fearful of the autocratic sect than the god Om. ![]() His high priest Vorbis controls all with fear of holy retribution. ![]() Small Gods is about the land of Omnia, where the great god Om is worshiped and all who don’t are subject to the Quisition – a satire of the political/theological Inquisition. Crouch also co-created the TNT show Good Behavior, based on his Letty Dobesh novellas. His novels include the New York Times bestseller Dark Matter, and the international bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, which was adapted into a television series for FOX. While sci-fi has long explored the concept of faith and its power to exert great influence and control over it’s believers, Sir Pratchett offers a new take. About the author (2016) Blake Crouch is a bestselling novelist and screenwriter. When faith tries to expand it’s sphere of influence and doesn´t care about the foundations and rules, contradicting its own commandments. The book explores what has happened, happens, and will happen as soon as faith goes mad, uncontrolled, and vicious. I don’t think I’ll offend anyone when I say that this book might as well as be Terry Pratchett’s masterpiece. ![]()
