Description:

An unforgettable, side-splitting voyage into an afterlife where harps are boring and the celestial bureaucracy is endless.For thirty years after his death, old sea salt Captain Eli Stormfield has been rocketing through the cosmos like a rogue comet, racing celestial bodies and aiming for the pearly gates. But upon his eventual arrival at the edge of heaven, he discovers a startling truth: Earth is just a microscopic speck known as "the Wart," and the grand Christian paradise he was promised is nothing like reality. Thrust into a dazzling, mind-bogglingly vast eternal realm where the inhabitants quickly toss aside their halos and palm branches in favor of meaningful work, Stormfield must learn the ropes of a heaven where historical legends play second fiddle to unappreciated cobblers and tailors. Fans of classic comedic literature and theological Satirical Fiction will adore this brilliantly subversive gem. Twisting familiar tropes of the afterlife, angelic bureaucracy, and divine rewards, the story delivers an absurdly expansive universe filled with wry social commentary, cosmic proportions, and laugh-out-loud philosophical wit. If you enjoy thought-provoking parody and timeless humor, this audiobook will utterly enchant you.
