Ye Gods!
In this "genuinely funny" ( Kirkus Reviews ) fantasy, a reluctant hero is drawn into a conflict against the Gods reasserting their authority over humanity. Being a hero bothers Jason Derry. It's easy to get maladjusted when your mom's a suburban housewife and your dad's the Supreme Being. It can be a real drag slaying monsters and retrieving golden fleeces from fire-spitting dragons, and then having to tidy your room before you can watch Star Trek . But it's not the relentless tedium of imperishable glory that finally brings Jason to the end of his rope; it's something so funny that it's got to be taken seriously. Deadly seriously. "Zany, irreverent fun." — Publishers Weekly
