Richard Kadrey

The fourth eagerly awaited Sandman Slim novel from Richard Kadrey

In this heart-pounding epilogue novel to the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling Sandman Slim series, James Stark once again finds himself between a rock and a hard place—except this time the rock is Heaven, and the hard place is Hell… A devil’s work is never done. James Stark, aka Sandman Slim, is trying to find his footing in a Heaven that’s anything but heavenly. And when God gets attacked and the angels and hellions start picking sides for a new war, the celestial realm is one spark away from an explosion. Stark just wants to be left alone to watch old movies, but when a madman named Dixie Midnight starts cutting a bloody path through the palace, he’s dragged back into the fray. Stark’s investigation uncovers a conspiracy that goes deeper than he could have ever imagined. And every new encounter leads to yet another mystery, another foe, and—at one point—a spell that is inexorably draining his very essence. Betrayed by those he should be able to trust, hunted by supposed friends and enemies alike—all while running out of time, because apparently there is nothing after the afterlife—Stark must navigate the treacherous corridors of Heaven and the backroads of Hell to solve a problem he only sort of understands. And he'd kill for a good apple fritter. Death is not the worst thing that can happen to Stark—dealing with bureaucratic assholes, renegade angels, and homicidal sociopaths is. Stark thought he was done with being the monster killer...done with being the monster. He was wrong. And that means Heaven must wait...

See mees tuleb tagasi põrgust. Tuleb tagasi, et maksta kätte neile, kes ta sinna saatsid. Ja põrgusse saatis ta - müüs ta maha - tema tollase maagilise ringi juht tasuks võimete ja oskuste eest. Nii põrgus kui ka maa peal avastasid ta vastased, et teda on mingil põhjusel väga raske tappa.Ta ei ole päris inimene - põrgu muutis teda. Tegelikult pole ta päris inimene olnudki. Kuid igatahes on ta maag, ja lisaks olend, keda põrgus ega taevas ei hinnata, kuid kelle kätes on inimkonna saatus. Ta nimetab end Kõhnaks Uneliivameheks.
