Exponential Apocalypse by Eirik Gumeny
4.0
Thor, made fallible by the power of science, works a diminutive job as a bellhop. The world has ended, between fifteen and thirty times (I lost count and do not trust the 22 listed in the book description on amazon). But neither the zombie apocalypse, the apocalypse that allowed ghosts to rule the internet, nor the one that made clones of great world leaders of history battle to the death on pay-per-view can get Thor down. Hold on, that isn’t right.. All of those things get him down. He went from God status to supplying extra pillows to asshats in one if the few buildings in town not on fire or being collapsed by molemen from the center of the earth. That would get just about anyone down.
Quetzalcoatl on the other hand, is drunk. After going on a modern day rampage across Central America and the southern US, he is tired. His mind is smashed, he is smashed, and the realities of the philosophers guild growing sizable in the hobo nation… are smashed. When he regains some stability, perhaps he will remember why he hates the hobos so much and why their deaths please him…
Queue a battle royale to stop one final apocalypse, the one we can’t rebuild from.
This was a damned laugh. It was like Roseanne had unprotected sex with Douglas Adams which culminated in the birth of a child, who was hanging out with Neil Gaiman smoking some pot at a circus before slipping roofies to a recently resurrected Bill Hicks and shagging his brains out.. Which culminated in the birth of a child named Snake Pliskin who will travel to the past to kill Roseanne.
Like that, with gods, werewolves, scientists with hot bods and paperbag heads, sentient squirrels, chainsaws, cowboys & indians. Oh, and Robots. lost of robots.. an Undead Bovine.. Clowns.. … It was excellent, It was nonsensical, it was in some cases brilliant prose and in others painfully painful. You should read it.
I repeat, excellent, read it.
I repeat, excellent, read it.
I should point out there is a sequel. “Exponential Apocalypse: Dead Presidents”.. Haven’t read it, but I will :)
