Similar to the edgy, offbeat laughter of Chris Moore and Matt Ruff, the first entry in a whimsical, fast-paced supernatural series from the New York Times best-selling writer of the Sandman Slim novels - a dark and funny story involving a doomsday gizmo, a horde of baddies determined to have its vitality, and a clever thief who must steal it back...again and again. It's 22,000 BC. A beautiful, ambitious angel stands on the mountaintop, surveying the entire world and its own little inhabitants below. He smiles because soon, the previous of humanity who survived the great flood will meet its end, too. And he ought to know. He's going to play a major part in it. Our angel usually doesn't get to do fieldwork, and when he does well, he's certain he'll get a major promotion. And now it's time.... The angel reaches into his pocket for the tool of humanity's doom. Must be in the other pocket. Then he frantically starts to pat himself down. Dejected, he realizes he has lost the object. Looking over the Earth by any means that could have been, the majestic angel utters a single word. "Crap." It's 2015. A thief known as Coop - an expert in purloining special items - steals and offers a small field to the incomprehensible client who employed his services. Coop doesn't know that his latest job may be the end of him - and the rest of the world. All of the sudden he sees himself together with The Division of Peculiar Knowledge, a fearsome enforcement agency that polices the unusual and weird. The field isn't only a supernatural heirloom with quaint power, they simply tell him. It's a doomsday device. They think.... And suddenly, everyone is out to get it.
