The Thing in the Attic by James B. Blish ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Thing in the Attic by James B. Blish audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Honath the Pursemaker has committed the worst crime in his people’s tree-top civilization: he has doubts. In a culture of small, tail-bearing folk shaped by ancient science and ruled by the Book of Laws, faith is not a private matter, but the glue that keeps order. When Honath and a few like-minded friends question the existence of the Giants said to have created them, the authorities make an example of the heretics by casting them out of the safe canopy and down into the jungle floor - a place their myths describe as Hell. Forced to survive in a world of crushing scale, alien terrain, and predatory beasts that feel half legend and half biology, the exiles must improvise tools, alliances, and a new way of thinking while fear and hunger test their convictions. As their journey pushes them farther from everything they have ever known, Honath is driven to ask what belief is worth when reality itself is uncertain, and whether truth can be found without tearing a society apart. One of Blish’s sharp, idea-driven pantropy tales, this is survival adventure fused with a haunting debate about authority, knowledge, and the cost of heresy.
