When the gods departed, they left behind their WMDs: Weapons of Mass Destruction—or rather, ATDs: Apocalypses of Total Destruction. Since the gods left, mythical creatures have been forced to take refuge on Earth, dependent on the goodwill of humans. The trouble is, most humans don't have all that much goodwill. Then there's me, a struggling human hotelier who promised to help these wayward “Others” live in this new GoneGod World. It's a promise that just might get me killed. In the past year, my hotel has been blown up, my best friend (an alcoholic angel) picked a fight with a myth-hating gang and, oh yeah, the world almost ended—again. But things are finally starting to look up for me. I got a date with Medusa—yeah, that Medusa. And despite the legend, she’s gorgeous—and my hotel has just been booked for the biggest blowout event of the century. All I want to do is help Others, and for once it seems I’m getting exactly what I want. Sadly, my unusually good fortune takes a turn for the worse when one of my demigod guests accidentally sets off the apocalypse. And by apocalypse, I mean end-of-the-world, everyone-dies-in-flames kind of thing. My name is Jean-Luc Matthias and I’m about to face off against Ragnarok, Revelations and a creature I’m pretty sure is the Kraken. All in a day’s work in Paradise Lot. *** Keep Evolving is the second stand-alone novel set in the GoneGod universe.
