Empire of the Gods

At the end of the world, it helps to have a sense of humour.

When flesh-eating insects appear in the Cotswolds a week after the mysterious destruction of the Pyramids of Gisa, Jack Gibson and Denzil Reid's dreary team-building week takes a deadly turn. While fleeing the carnage with their boss Lucy, they crash into a car containing an ancient artefact from beyond the stars, throwing them into the heart of an intergalactic rebellion.

As Jack and his friends ricochet from one terrifying situation to another, they must unravel the mystery that surrounds them. What are the strange mutant creatures? What is the artefact? And who, if anyone, can they trust?

Empire of the Gods is a fiercely comic and occasionally rude sci-fi fantasy about love and friendship in a time of chaos, and an ordinary man finding himself at the centre of a battle to rule the universe.
