"A rolling bouncy-house of a caper tale, The Everything Box abounds
with quick-witted characters, snarky dialogue, and surreal
analogies. If you haven't sampled Richard Kadrey's take on fantasy
yet, this is a great place to start." -- Christopher Moore, New
York Times bestselling author of Lamb, A Dirty Job, and The Serpent
of Venice From the author of the Sandman Slim series, a new fantasy
in the tradition of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Carl
Hiaasen. 2000 B.C. -- A beautiful, ambitious angel stands on a
mountaintop, surveying the world and its little inhabitants below.
He smiles because soon, the last of humanity who survived the great
flood will meet its end, too. And he should know. He's going to
play a big part in it. Our angel usually doesn't get to do field
work, and if he does well, he's certain he'll get a big promotion.
And now it's time ...The angel reaches into his pocket for the
instrument of humanity's doom. Must be in the other pocket. Then he
frantically begins to pat himself down. Dejected, he realizes he
has lost the object. Looking over the Earth at all that could have
been, the majestic angel utters a single word. "Crap." 2015. -- A
thief named Coop-a specialist in purloining magic objects-steals
and delivers a small box to the mysterious client who engaged his
services. Coop doesn't know that his latest job could be the end of
him-and the rest of the world. Suddenly he finds himself in the
company of The Department of Peculiar Science, a fearsome
enforcement agency that polices the odd and strange. The box isn't
just a supernatural heirloom with quaint powers, they tell him.
It's a doomsday device. They think ...And suddenly, everyone is out
to get it.
