About the Book
Exile among the mortals sucks.
Neptune, once the mighty Roman god of the oceans, is fresh out of college, estranged from his Olympian family, and on the outs with his baby brother Jupiter. He’s kicking around Connecticut with nothing better to do than play Dungeons and Dragons and watch Star Wars again. Life in the suburbs is tedious and boring.
That changes when he clashes with the extraterrestrial death-god known only as the Godking, a gruesome monster hellbent on his murder. Neptune survives their first encounter, but barely, and only because his friend Anubis is well-versed in traveling among mirror universes. Hidden in an alternate future, Neptune learns his first real-life life lesson: the Godking can hunt him from one timeline to another, for as long as it takes, to catch him and tear him limb from limb. Neptune's death seems inevitable.
Running scared, Neptune embarks on an Existential odyssey that challenges him at the crossroads and changes him at his core. His ordeal threatens everything he thinks he knows. And he’s bombarded with questions, not the least of which is: Does Reality really need another Surreal Estate Agent?
