Publisher's summary

When the Supreme Being and his son decide that being supreme isn't for them anymore, it's inevitable that things get a bit of a shake-up.

It soon becomes apparent that our new owners, the Venturi brothers, have a very different perspective on all sorts of things. Take good and evil, for example. For them, it's an outdated concept that never worked particularly well in the first place.

Unfortunately, the sudden disappearance of right and wrong, while welcomed by some, raises certain concerns amongst those still attached to the previous team's management style.

In particular, there's one of the old gods who didn't move out with the others. A reclusive chap, he lives somewhere up north, and only a handful even believe in him.

But he's watching. And he really does need to know if you've been naughty or nice.

A great satire

Tom Holt constantly amazes me with his wit and subtle jabs at society. He points out the dangers of extreme capitalism and the need for morally all while twisting an amusing tale around characters we think we know. Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry

Not really sure what the plot is

It was seemingly meandering at times but at least There were some pretty funny moments along the way.

Pratchett/Adams addicts: worth a look

...Once you're done with their full catalogs. The humor is there. The subversion is attempted, but... it's a good swing and worth your time.

Loved it!

I wasn't sure at first that I would like it but after 10 minutes I decided I was going to love it, and I did. I love Tom Holts wit. he rights a lot like Terry Pratchett whom I also love. I recommend every Tom Holt book out there and I especially love Ray Sawyer. he is one of the best narrator's I've had the pleasure of listening to. he really makes these characters come alive.
