Brian Brown isn’t dead. Not quite. But when he nods off on his commute, he wakes up in Limbo; a mundane office complete with an aging clerk and an impossible to obtain death certificate. There must be a mistake, but by this point it is too late: his body has disappeared without him to roam the mortal world. Brian is left stranded, caught in the web of a stiflingly bureaucratic Afterlife.Things only get stranger. God – short, petulant, and politically embattled – offers Brian a way home, but only if he’ll help save Religion from irrelevance. Time, an overworked matron who runs a hospital, is tired of it all, and Death? He’s just doing his job.As he battles valiantly to complete his commute to work, Brian must team up with Martha – a brilliant, deceased paediatrician who cannot bear the weight of eternity – and reckon with a duplicate version of himself who’s unravelling back on Earth.
