It's not not so bad getting yourself
blown up eight times a day for the slack-jawed tourists, at least to
Jack Whiskey's thinking. He's lived in Eden, Virginia, his whole
life, and colonial reenactment is all he knows. Being the town
“alchemist” is what he does. Well, that and drink beer at the
Olde Eden Taphouse...
But his dreamy life is upended when he
discovers that fictional characters and beings straight out of
myth roam the streets of Eden. Oh, and there's a gang of American Indian Trickster gods running around distributing a beer brewed with the Water of Life to every bar and corner store within city
limits. The Creator gods are never happy when people start attaining
Eternal Life like it's every nobody's business. (Check your
mythology: it always ends badly, usually for the people.) Soon enough, the ever-vigilant Cosmic Dancer will take notice and two-step existence right on
out of existence.
But the residents of Eden aren't going
down without a brawl. With the help of mind-wielding monks,
mythological beings, and characters snatched straight from the
classics, Jack must embark on a romp across mythical worlds—and
descend to the ancient Greek Underworld—to prevent the stamping out
of the universe.
And he may have more in common with
those Tricksters than he ever imagined possible.
