Summary

Shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award

The Book of Koli begins a breathtakingly original new trilogy set in a strange and deadly world of our own making.

Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognisable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, the Shunned men will.

Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.

He's wrong.

Brilliant book

The narrator really needs to watch some anime before attempting to voice a perky Japanese girl again. As it stands he sounds like a Vietnam war era prostitute, just think "me love you long time, fye dolla!".
Otherwise, a good performance that suits a great story.

Enjoyable, but...
