Synopsis
At a cocktail party to launch his latest creations: Adam and Eve, God is challenged to a bet by the Devil. The fallen angel, unimpressed by the Boss's new toys, wagers that, far from becoming the custodians of Earth, mankind will inevitably destroy itself. God, alas, can't refuse such a wager in front of all his guests. If Satan wins, he gets his place back in Heaven and control of what little is left of the Earth. If he loses, he will retire into outer darkness and never bother his ex-boss further.
Coming down to Earth, we meet Martin Gray, a simple dentist at the end of his tether, who finds himself assisting the angel Gabriel in a desperate attempt to stop the Devil laying waste to the Earth by means of a fiendishly cunning computer game. But when Martin’s wife is kidnapped and dragged down to Hell, it is clear that the problems are just beginning . . .

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. At a cocktail party to launch His latest creations, called Adam and Eve, God is challenged to a bet by the party-crashing Devil. The fallen angel, unimpressed by the Boss's new toys, wagers that, far from being the custodians of Earth that God has created them to be, mankind will instead destroy itself. God, a golfing enthusiast with a fragile ego, can't refuse the wager in front of all His guests, and so He accepts. If Satan wins, he gets his place back in Heaven and control of what's left of the Earth. If he loses, he will retire into outer darkness and never bother God again. Central to the momentum of this story is the relationship between Martin Gray, a simple dentist whose life is unraveling, and the angel Gabriel, a Danish pastry fan, and their attempts to stop the Devil laying waste to the Earth.
