Description
PREPARE FOR A VERY HOSTILE TAKEOVER.
It's been twenty years since the world got weird. Realities merged, wars were fought, and now humans live alongside the horned, the mad, and the godly.
Despite this, David’s life is pretty dull. His desk job allows him a latte in the morning, a stream of stories from his minotaur of a work mum, and as much excitement as a deflated balloon. All that changes when his workplace becomes a live hostage situation, and he gets caught in the crossfire as an army of sword-wielding co-workers fight back.
Trapped on the twentieth floor of a London high-rise, hiding from the wrath of a fire-breathing god, a cryptic cult, and their corporate stooge, David is determined to make it safely home to bed.

What a journey. I feel like I still need to marinate on the ending of this book. I’m vacillating between 4 and 5 stars. As a debut novel it’s a stand out for sure. Fans of quirky sci-fi fantasy will enjoy this wild tale. Especially if you love escape rooms and fight scenes.
An alternate earth merges with our human-dominated earth and our protagonists are dealing with the consequences of a merged society when all chaos brakes loose in the office. An office with ‘aliens’ and broadswords.
What happens in security committee meetings stays in security committee meetings. iykyk.
There’s a lot of meat on these bones and more depth (societal issues) than I expected based on the cover and description. I thoroughly enjoyed this, but like I said, I need to sit in the ending for a hot minute.
