About this Event

When the inhabitants of a peaceful world are conquered by the bloodthirsty yumens, their existence is irrevocably altered. Forced into servitude, the Athsheans find themselves at the mercy of their brutal masters. Desperation causes the Athsheans, led by Selver, to retaliate against their captors, abandoning their strictures against violence. But in defending their lives, they have endangered the very foundations of their society. For every blow against the invaders is a blow to the humanity of the Athsheans. And once the killing starts, there is no turning back.

Available from all good libraries and book shops.

You don't have to have read it to join us - but it'll probably help.

We will be meeting in The Ludski Bar in the Rio Cinema.https://www.riocinema.org.uk/your-visit/

You are welcome to bring outside food in with you but please buy your drinks from inside the cinema. Thank you.

We hope to see you there.
