Amy's summary
Terry Pratchett - Small Gods
A tortoise is dropped out of the sky by an eagle and falls into a garden of the Church of the Great God Om. This is not just any tortoise, this is the God Om himself, although in a greatly reduced state. A novice and true believer, Brutha, alone hears Om, but at first thinks him a demon. Brother Nhumrod and Deacon Vorbis the exquisitor don't hear Om but they think they do His will. Brutha's memory is unusually good. Scheming Vorbis hopes to use this skill, so he takes Brutha, along with the tortoise Om, to the city Ephebe. The Ephbians have gods and philosophers everywhere. Battles have been fought between the lands of Omnia and Ephebe. Meanwhile there is a underground group proclaiming "The Turtle Moves". summary written by misuly@aol.com |
