Borrowed Time - Book 01

The gods have all been murdered. A dying hustler with a needle in his arm is offered a chance to resurrect them all… including the suicidal mastermind behind their demise.

Our Sun betrays us. A red giant, it prepares to swallow our home. Marcus is brought 4.5 billion years into the future to bathe in the heat of our blood-red star… and explain why any of this matters. Or so he is told.

 “A practiced lie is often better received than unrehearsed truth.”

Marcus didn’t know his last high would be his last high. The news of Jasmyn's murder was hard to shake. Harder still was the awareness of the son he’d never met. And so, he allowed muscle memory to take over. “The problem with heroin is you have to trust criminals to have your best interest at heart.” Now, long since dead from fentanyl-laced heroin and seemingly plucked from the stream of universal consciousness, Marcus is granted the ability to experience the final moments in a series of lives by a timeless being. Their lives, breadcrumbs to the truth about the deceased gods and the maestro behind their demise -- the trickster god Ha’lak.
