And God said, ‘Let there be humour’

I’ve just finished reading this amazing book called ‘Endgame’ by Andy Secombe and I must say, it’s an excellent work of literature. If anyone has ever read ‘The Hitch-hiker’s Guide To the Galaxy’, then you would see similarities in the tones and moods of both books. Although ‘Hitch-hiker’s’ was a bigger an a much more expansive world, ‘Endgame’ will not fail anyone.

The book is legible to attract new sci-fi/comedy readers, as well as veterans. It all starts in Heaven, where God is holding a cocktail party to celebrate his newest creations- Adam and Eve. As usual Satan wasn’t invited. But who needs an invitation when you’re fucking evil? So Satan gate crashes (to God’s dissappointment) and inspects the new creatures. Satan, (being Satan) calls out a bet. If humanity destroys itself in a given time, Satan wins the rights to Heaven. If not, then God gets to trap him in Hell forever. Not

wanting to embarass himself in front of his guests, God shakes hands on it and Satan leaves. Back on Earth, a dentist tries to kill himself. His life hasn’t worked out for the past few years- he’s up to his eyeballs in debt, his marriage is on the brink of destruction and he has an 18 year old son in which he hasn’t spoken to for a long time. Fate has decided that he would be the one to save Earth from the Devil’s most devious scheme for Earth’s destruction (since World War II)- Endgame.

In a few days time, this dentist is pulled into a world in where Satan invents Microsoft and God plays golf. Where the Angel Gabriel enjoys Cinnabon-type-of-food and the Archangel Michael gambles in casinos. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for some light reading.

If anyone has any books for me to read, type it down in the comments. Dubai’s really boring- everthing’s closed in the mornings.
