    About this ebook

    Billions of years in future, the high death of the universe draws nigh. Total entropy. Nothing can stop it, nothing can reverse it, but three godlike beings must try. Once mere Earthlings, the three wage a hopeless battle against the fast-approaching end of everything.

    Only one thing can stop it: the secret inside an old forgotten hymnal. Now the gods themselves must regain their cast-off humanity and somehow return to an Earth long since dust if they — and the universe — are to survive.

    Award-winning author Lee Allred (DC Comics, Baen Books, Asimov’s) gives us a tale epic in scope, full of hope, life, love, and a power hidden within us all.

    Lee Allred's award-winning short fiction has appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine and several science fiction anthologies. He’s also written for DC Comics and Image Comics.
