About this ebook

"Terror hung in the air like the foul-smelling smoke from a gutted house, where people have been burned alive inside. I could feel it. Wraeththu. I shiver to say the word. Something has happened to them. Where did they come from? How did it happen? Why is it spreading like a plague? I have seen. I have seen what they do. I have seen their faces. They always take their dead with them, always. There is a secret. Dont you understand? A secret. Wraeththu are not what they seem. They are more than they seem."

Ground-breaking when they first appeared, The Wraeththu Chronicles chart the history of a new race of hermaphrodite beings who come to replace humanity on Earth. Daring, erotic and magical, these editions include ‘deleted scenes’, which have now been restored and expanded.

    I liked this book, honest. So why the 3 star rating? Because even though it had a good premise and the world-building was awesome, some of the imagery was just too much for me.

    At the time I read this I didn't yet realize that I had a squick level, but this book blew it out of the water.

    Great book. Just not for me.

    I read the revised edition that was brought in line with the second Trilogy of Wraeththu chronicles.To sum it up - Post-Apocalyptic softcore hermaphrodite porn. But really don't let that turn you off. The book was extremely well written and the characters are ones you grow to care for as you travel with them.One of the more bizarre sci-fi books I've read, but after reading this I was compelled to hunt down the rest of the series and devour it.

    Very, very queer. Canon intersex, mpreg, polyamory, orgies! The book requires a lot of consulting the glossary in the back, but it's definitely worth it. Layers on layers of imagery and meaning. The story short-changes women, even with a character acknowledging that by creating only male Wraeththu they are leaving behind women, already a persecuted group. That total lack of women in a book that emphasizes the balance of male/female is a little squicky, to me, but it doesn't overshadow what is a basically good cult sci-fi epic.
