About this listen
The Venislarn. Vastly intelligent aliens from another dimension or dribbling insane gods from a distant realm? It’s impossible to tell. What’s certain is that they’re here and they’re going to destroy our world. But, hey, there’s no mileage to be gained from telling the kiddywinks that monsters are real….
The consular mission to the Venislarn are the god appeasers and the end-of-life carers for an oblivious planet. It may be the end of the world as we know it, but there are procedures and policies in place, and everything should go according to plan. But, in the city, someone’s buying souls door to door, dealing in the kind of magical drugs that guarantee a really, really bad trip, and if something isn’t done about it, the end of the world might just happen a lot sooner than planned.
Sequel to the hilarious Oddjobs, this is a workplace comedy like no other, featuring face-eating grannies, telepathic spiders, bloodthirsty school kids, murder on the dance floor, sex-crazed pond life, and actual stockbrokers from hell.
The weekend can’t come soon enough (if it comes at all).

Amusing, quirky and easy to listen to!
Steve the Destroyer is my favourite character yet. I didn't see the twist at the end. Amusing tit bits throughout. My only annoyance is how harsh the alien words come out. Kinda pains me and is the reason I almost didn't purchase the 2nd book. Gald I did though.

HP Lovecraft collides with Birmingham
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it’s predecessor. An excellent cast of characters and a well paced story. The narrator is excellent. For comparison purposes, the closest I can get is that it reminds me of early Tom Holt. Made me laugh out loud, and I keep quoting bits of it.

We Doe All Talk Loik That Y'Know
Ok - I love these books. It's great to see some fiction set in and around my home city. The disperate story arcs converge to an excellent and exciting climax. Matthew Lloyd Davies has a great range of voices, however his Brummie accent seems to be based solely around Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet, and it is really irritating at times. That said, bring on the next one!

Brilliant and very funny
I love that this book takes me away from everyday life. listening to it via audible makes the journey to and from work pleasurable. I love all of the characters. really enjoyed the moments of laughing out loud when stuck in traffic jams.

Laughed and laughed
What a performance. What a performance! Matthew Lloyd Davies does such a great range that I cannot imagine another reader.
The story was excellent as well. This time there were shorter arcs making up the whole. Very satisfying to listen to and also hugely funny. There were some scenes that could almost have been standalone sketches where I just roared.
The characters are decently rounded. Mrs Grey is my favorite.
