Set in an almost post-apocalyptic Nigeria where gods have fallen from the sky and all but driven humans out of the city of Lagos, Suyi Davies Okungbowa’s debut novel David Mogo, Godunter is a tale of displaced deities, urban wizards and a slightly hapless demigod trying to keep the peace. In dire need of a well-paying job, the titular godhunter accepts a somewhat dubious task from the powerful wizard Lukmon Ajala – to capture the twin high gods Ibeji. When things don’t quite go to plan, David Mogo finds himself torn between his human and divine halves, and forced to choose who and what he really wants to be.
