Pretenders to the Throne of God

In "Pretenders to the Throne of God," written and introduced by Adrian Tchaikovsky and narrated by David Thorpe, the story unfolds in a world where the Tyrant Philosophers seek to impose their vision of perfection through conquest. As the siege of Eres Ffenegh—the "City on the Back of a Crab"—intensifies amid an uneasy alliance of defenders and invaders, central characters like Devil Jack and Kiffel ea Leachan navigate personal losses and precarious fates. With the city’s struggle for sovereignty hanging in the balance, the arrival of Pal reinforcements threatens to complicate matters further.
