Theology was never like this before.'Tell your bosses they have nothing to fear from me,' Nimrod said abruptly. 'We're in the same business.''Er, what?' Ori was nonplussed.'Gods-bothering. The priests and I. Only,' he grinned mischievously, 'I'm better at it. I'm really going to bother those gods. Better than they've ever been bothered in their miserable lives.' Nimrod looked eerily triumphant.In the beginning was The Penthouse. But The Penthouse was boring. Nothing but singing and dancing angels. And eyes. Lots of eyes. Ori, who only had two, plus a pair of wings, decided to jump into the celestial Paternoster and see what was out there.Ori saw plenty.Follow Ori's journey through ancient Mesopotamia. Marvel at the five-legged lamassu. Catch up on all the latest gossip about Nimrod. Meet the cats of Halab. Groan at the oldest jokes on record. And help Ori answer the burning question, 'What are gods good for, anyway?'

Izzy Himmelfarb is as innocent as Richard Kimble, and darn near as naïve. Like Dr Kimble, he's a 60s guy, though a bit younger and more in tune with the counterculture, and overeducated. I wanted to see if someone from a time I personally remembered could make it as a time traveller. I'm happy to say he weathered the journey pretty well, at least I think so. But you be the judge: I'm just the author. You, more importantly, are the reader. Hop aboard the ferret express and see what it takes to get from Joliet to Woodstock.

We hope this volume will be one you'll keep on a bedside table. Or pop into a travel bag. We want you to use this anthology as a companion for those times when you have a half-hour to fill and don't want to muck about with the internet. Not one of these stories will take you more than ten minutes to read. But they will take you around the planet at warp speed. You may find yourself on a galactic cruise from your office, park bench, or seat on the 9.35 local. Some of what you'll read in here is laugh-out-loud funny. You may go Snork! and get Looks on the commuter train. Some of the stories and poems in here will probably make you want to cry. Life on Earth can be dark, sometimes. We're hoping you can take the rough with the smooth. Some of these stories might introduce you to the kind of people you've wondered about, but never met.
