4 AND 1/2 STARSBrian Hodge has been a highly respected author for a very long time.  And while he does not have a huge body of work in terms of novels, what he has is an extremely high caliber of writing and originality in whatever he writes.  Whom The Gods Would Destroy is no exception.With this small story on an epic scale, you will find yourself contemplating many thought provoking ideas and concepts Hodge has brought into play.  Mixing science fiction with horror, the author manages to tie together intimate childhood abuse with intergalactic invaders and sibling relationships with occult sacrifices.  While still effective as a novella, Hodge could have easily expanded this into a full novel, and perhaps he will at some point.  But as it stands, this is hugely successful and one of the best quick reads I've experienced in a long time.
