Publisher's summary

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.

Do not listen on an empty stomach

A fantastic blending of fantasy and sci-fi, with action and intrigue, and just enough horror that it may ruin your appetite. The Inferior explores and challenges the concepts of humanity, morality, intelligence, and edibility. Led by the over-looked underdog Stopmouth, who suffers from a speech impediment and an even worse sibling, love-to-hate-them villains, morally ambiguous love interests, and a world filled with horrifying--and hungry--creatures, this book goes a mile a minute from start to end. You'll walk away pondering what it truly means to be human, if the difference between "civilized" and "savage" is simply a matter of perspective, and if you have what it takes to survive on the Bone World.
