I can't wait for more!' ★★★★★ 'Loved it! Need more.' ★★★★★ 'After reading this book I have come to better appreciate independent authors.

Charles woke up late to the apocalypse. The gods of old had gotten bored and decided to redesign how the world worked. Everyone else got a nice little message in their vision explaining everything. Everyone else woke up when the gods decided to make their decision known. Only Charles got cursed by the gods, and only he gets a visit from one as well. The game and the reasons behind it are not as simple as they first appear. Not that Charles cares one way or the other, he just wants to get to his sister. The Game of Gods has begun, and the monsters of old are returning to our world. All it took was the death of half the world's population and counting. What readers are saying: ★★★★★ 'I enjoyed reading this one. Loved the beginning with the curse. Can't wait for the next one. Great plot, great characters.' ★★★★★ 'I like the spin on apocalyptic collapse. The gods amuse me and I find the main character a bit cold and detached which I can relate to.' ★★★★★ 'A good start to an Apocalypse style world. Looking forward to see where the author takes us in his new crazy world.' ★★★★★ 'The characters are flawed and realistic with an adorable dog at their side. The magic system is interesting with a refreshing and original twist.' read more
