Wrath of Eve: Evil Has Met Its Match
Descrição da editora
"... A rollicking send-up of Abrahamic origin stories, featuring a tough, sharp-tongued mother of humankind....Lowell’s irreverent counter-mythology feels like a sardonic revamp of Paradise Lost, taking a very flawed Eve through a gonzo redemption arc toward responsibility and selflessness.... [His] prose is punchy and raucous: 'You gotta admit we’ve had some crazy fun times together,' chortles Serpent to Eve, reminiscing about her time with him in hell. 'Like when I barbecued all those little freaks of nature out in Andromeda….God knows what those things were, but they hopped like corn kernels in a hot skillet.'" — Kirkus Reviews
Eve is an eighteen-year-old spitfire in the Garden of Eden with an inverted moral compass and a comedically twisted view of the world.
After having discovered a great truth about the universe from Satan, who calls himself Serpent, she decides to sneak into higher realms of consciousness and wants him to join her. He agrees, but part of the deal is that Eve reincarnates on Earth to perform a task for him first. After this last hurrah, which takes place in the ancient colony of Atlantis, he’ll gladly join her. However, her assignment ends up causing all of human civilization a tremendous amount of suffering.
Despite fulfilling her end of the bargain, Serpent reneges on his promise. Feeling betrayed, Eve reincarnates on Earth once again, only this time seeking to serve God rather than Serpent. By this point on Earth, a powerful secret society has taken control of the world, and Eve will need the help of her human father to expose the group by hacking into worldwide media conglomerates.
She should be cautious, though, because the people she has hurt in the past will show up now to torment her. Will she succeed in trying to expose the secret society? And will she ever be able to fully abandon Serpent, or will she seek vengeance against him for tricking her? [Contains some graphic violence, no romance].
