About this ebook
'When Tom Holt's on form, the world seems a much cheerier place' - SFX
'...both intimate and ambitious - not only human, but also divine' - DAILY TELEGRAPH
Something is about to go wrong. Very wrong. What do you expect if the Supreme Being decides to get away from it all for a few days, leaving his naturally inquisitive son to look after the cosmic balance of things?
A minor hiccup with a human soul and a welding machine soon leads to a violent belch, and before you know it the human condition - not to mention the lemming condition - is tumbling down the slippery slope to chaos.
A dazzling comic fantasy novel from one of Britain's sharpest, funniest writers.

Another excellent fun read. Enjoy waiting to see how he will bring it home. A long term Aussie fan.
About the author
Tom Holt's first book was published when he was just thirteen and, to his horror, he was hailed as an infant prodigy. While studying at Oxford however he discovered Bar Billiards and turned from poetry to comic fiction.
