Welcome to the audio version of Sermons on Little-Known Gods, a novel by Lauren Merritt. A print version is also available if you'd like to read along. ;o) The interwoven story lines of Sermons on Little-Known Gods take place within a preposterous new mythology, a pantheon of flawed supreme beings as its actors. The creator god Karik has lost the First Ones, the handcrafted forebears of humankind and his only effectual link to that troublesome creation. Ora, his female counterpart, is overextended in the care and nurture of Karik's little ones, while worldwide, the other gods of Earth grow ever more antagonistic toward those human creations. Enter the novel's human protagonists, the Rarechild Mandy and the half-god Puck. If they can locate the father Puck never knew, solve the riddle of Mandy's recurring visions, and hear a summons from across the Pacific, they'll have some slim hope of harmony between the humans and their gods. In terms of genre, let's call this novel "humorous alternative fantasy." What--there's not a shelf for that?
