There is but one law: eat or be eaten. 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 slow-witted 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 and the Truman Show,Peadar O Guilin's debut is an action and ideas packed blockbuster that will challenge your perceptions of humanity and leave you hungry for more.

MEDIA REVIEWS
"This is a stark,dark tale,written with great energy and confidence and some arresting reflections on human nature." TES 20070907 "Rollicking adventure" Dublin Evening Herald 20070915 "The Inferior is an enjoyable debut novel from a clearly talented author. An intriguingly harsh Darwinian story of life struggling to survive in the face of the environment,this book is different enough from a lot of recent SF&F (sci-fi and fantasy) to make a vivid impression on the reader and leave them wanting more." thewertzone.blogspot.com 20070902 "The Inferior is unflinchingly gory and deserves much credit for not sugar-coating its issues." SFX Magazine 20071001 "A truly original story with characters you could read all day." thebookswede.blogspot.com 20070812
