When a recently deceased soul is offered a chance to escape Oblivion, he must locate the lost Book of Remedies-an ancient text of miraculous healing power-before Demons use it to turn Earth into Hell.
What happens when you die? Forget clouds, harps, or fiery pits. Here, bureaucratic Angels-supervised by rival Archangel cabinet members and assisted by poker-playing Demon janitors-run Creation from celestial offices plagued by politics and back stabbing.
When a nameless soul with no memory of his past steps into this surreal afterlife, the Heavenly Department of Justice offers him a deal: go on a mission to expose Satanists and idolaters on Earth. Success will earn him a coveted ticket to Heaven. Failure means eternal Oblivion.
It sounds like a win-win: one mission, eternal salvation. Or is it?
For his first-supposedly simple-assignment, the Heavenly Department of Health equips him with a flawless body and sends him to stop a demonic ritual. He succeeds and in the process saves the intended human sacrifice, Nora, a beautiful and mysterious woman who sparks feelings he can't identify or understand. To his misfortune, our hero finds fragments at the ritual site from the long-lost Book of Remedies, a powerful artifact Demons could claim to reshape the world in Hell's image.
Just as he was so close to Heaven, his mission takes an unexpected turn-he must now find the Book of Remedies before the Demons do and destroy it. Battling both mortal and supernatural foes through desert war zones where loyalties shift like sand, he faces treachery, betrayal, and temptation-especially when fate reunites him with Nora, who joins him on his quest... and in his bed. And just when he thinks he's earned redemption, he discovers his "final" mission is only the beginning...
Strap in for a supernatural thrill ride as John Constantine meets Indiana Jones on a globe-trotting quest spanning physical and spiritual planes in a hunt for a dangerous artifact sought by Angels, Demons, and humans alike. Fans of James Rollins and high-stakes urban fantasy will love this romantic, action-packed adventure.
