The Divine Comedies

More about the book

Now published for the first time in an omnibus edition, this book contains two of Tom Holt’s most hilarious comic fantasies. In Here Comes the Sun, the sun rises late, dirty, and so badly in need of service, it’s a wonder it gets up at all. The moon’s going to be scrapped presently, and a new one commissioned—but they’ve been saying that for years. All is not well with the universe, and it’s because the mortals are running the show. It’s time for a Higher Power to take charge. In Odds and Gods, we find that it’s a god’s life at the Sunnyvoyde Residential Home for Retired Deities. Everlasting life can be a real drag when all you’ve got to look forward to is cauliflower cheese on Wednesdays. But things are about to change, because those almighty duffers Thor, Odin, and Frey have restored a thousand-year-old traction engine—and it actually works. Then there’s Osiris, preparing for a quest that will test his wheelchair to its very limits. Only one thing might save the world. Dentures.
