As usual, the angel Doloriel has a few problems. Doloriel—or Bobby Dollar, as his friends on Earth and his even more numerous enemies call him—has already been to Hell to try to retrieve his beloved Caz from the clutches of an archdemon named Eligor. That mission failed. Now, not only does Caz (who’s actually a demon, herself, but still a nice person) remain a prisoner in the place of Eternal Punishment, but Bobby’s friends and informants are desert-ing him right and left and his new apartment seems to be haunted. Also, somebody high in the heavenly hierarchy wants Bobby eliminated. And we’re not talking about downsizing, we’re talking about utter destruction. When you’re a minor angel, and pretty much everything you’ve been doing is against the rules, that’s called trouble. When you add neo-Nazis, other-dimensional monsters, and the world’s ugliest automobile into the mix, that’s even more trouble. And when you combine all that with Hell’s most powerful demons and at least one of Heaven’s most powerful angels wanting nothing more than to see you burning forever in Hell—well, that’s more than trouble. That’s called The End, and for Bobby Dollar, it’s approaching fast.

Time for Bobby to get back to work. Because it’s almost Judgement Day, and Heaven isn’t going to overthrow itself.
