Novice Gods sits apart from the bulk of Bobby Adair’s catalog, which is dominated by zombie outbreaks, viral pandemics, and post-collapse survival. The novella format allowed him to work at a shorter length with material that does not fit neatly into the survival horror tradition he built his reputation on. For longtime readers, it is an interesting side trip; for newcomers, it shows that Adair’s interests are broader than any single genre.
The novella is self-contained and requires no background in Adair’s other work to enjoy. At novella length, it is also a low-commitment way to sample his writing outside the series context.
