A book that is almost impossible to describe. A god who owns a library containing all the knowledge in the universe goes missing leaving his adopted children locked out and trying to find out what happened. But that doesn't even scratch the surface of what is in this book. It's filled with bonkers, over the top action, violence, and larger than life characters, all in the service of a story about dealing with the trauma of having a bad Dad.
