Only Human

‘When Tom Holt’s on form, the world seems a much cheerier place’ – SFX

‘…both intimate and ambitious – not only human, but also divine’ – DAILY TELEGRAPH

Something is about to go wrong. Very wrong. What do you expect if the Supreme Being decides to get away from it all for a few days, leaving his naturally inquisitive son to look after the cosmic balance of things?

A minor hiccup with a human soul and a welding machine soon leads to a violent belch, and before you know it the human condition – not to mention the lemming condition – is tumbling down the slippery slope to chaos.

A dazzling comic fantasy novel from one of Britain’s sharpest, funniest writers.
