Joshua Cross dies. Repeatedly. Not heroically. Not nobly. Usually because history, God, and basic common sense have formed a temporary alliance against him. After a distracted angel flattens him with a moving truck, Joshua wakes up in Heaven and discovers the afterlife is less eternal peace and more hostile customer service with robes. God cannot put him back. The paperwork is binding. The contracts are terrible. The currency system only dispenses useless U.S. dollars. And every “solution” Heaven offers somehow makes Joshua’s next death more expensive. So Joshua is thrown through history. A medieval village burns him as a witch. Pompeii gives him thirty minutes and a wine problem. Viking-age Norway mistakes him for something disturbingly Odin-shaped. Egypt turns him into the most blamed man in the Exodus. Every death sends him back to Heaven. Every return adds fees. Every century makes the legends worse. Joshua does not mean to change history. Unfortunately, history keeps taking notes. A dark absurd immortal comedy about divine bureaucracy, accidental mythology, historical disasters, and one unlucky idiot becoming the worst recurring problem in recorded history. What to expect in terms of new chapters Five chapters a week. Because one catastrophic death per century apparently was not enough.
