Locus Award Winner for Best Fantasy Novel
Narrative Synopsis
Fundamentalist Christian minister Alexander Hergensheimer walks across a Polynesian fire pit on a dare, only to wake up in an alternate universe with an iceberg collision, a changed wife, and an upside-down reality. As world after world shifts underneath him, he and his Danish companion Margrethe journey toward the Final Judgment and an interview with Lucifer.
A God who demands worship is unworthy of it. A God worthy of respect requires no groveling.
Notable Passage
