Summary
In 1992, at the dawn of the age of technology, disgraced ex-game show host Manny di Martini schemes for a comeback with a deep-sea television special in the South Pacific.
He quickly finds himself in over his head, attracting the attention of a cosmic being who will lead Manny to a television broadcast event much bigger than the entire planet bargained for: evidence of a slumbering alien in a ruined city at the bottom of the ocean. One look at the monster on TV, and humans collectively freak out.
The narrative leaps between a cast of unforgettable characters, revealing their connections to cosmic gods who play with their lives. If humanity can't save itself, and the cosmic beings do not have humanity's best interests in their cold hearts, humanity will have to pull itself together to prepare for a war that not only threatens Earth but the very fabric of reality.
©2025 J.A.J. Minton (P)2025 Podium AudioMy one criticism is the middle section, where the narrative follows separate characters through their daily lives. While these perspectives add depth, they can feel disjointed from the overarching story and slightly slow the momentum. That said, in the final quarter, when these threads begin to converge, the pacing tightens and the story becomes genuinely exciting again. Book 2 will be a day one pick up for me!
