GNA podcast presents the second half of our two-part Book Club featuring The Sacrificers, vol. 1. Guest Jimmy Teigen joins host Mark Ohrenberger to discuss the fall out from a pantheon of selfish and power-hungry gods demanding child sacrifices in a "harvest" every twenty years in exchange for providing the mortals with an otherwise perfect world.

Part 1 of this Book Club discussion was presented in Episode 36 and covered issues 1-2 of The Sacrificers. This episode covers the balance of volume 1, which includes issues 3-6.
