Mercury Rises

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When the Apocalypse fails, what's a disgraced angel to do?

Mercury—rogue cherub, cosmic bureaucrat, and reluctant hero—was this close to retirement when the end of the world didn't quite end. Now, with the dust barely settled from the last disaster, he finds himself inexplicably back on Earth… and things are even weirder than usual.

While a demon in Ireland is mistaken for a bestselling author, a cynical reporter watches her career implode, and a mysterious government agency starts poking into supernatural affairs, Mercury is once again caught in the middle of a cosmic mess. From Babylonian construction sites to the smoldering ruins of Anaheim, this celestial misfit stumbles through a series of divine misfires, accidental prophecies, and existential grumbling—with the fate of the world (or at least Southern California) in the balance.

Mercury Rises is a hilarious, fast-paced, and subversive sequel that blends theology, satire, and absurdity into a story about unlikely redemption—and even unlikelier paperwork. Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and anyone who's ever suspected their boss might actually be a minor deity.
