PANTHEON
A Novel of the Greek and Roman Gods

The main characters of Pantheon are twelve former gods of the Greeks and Romans. They have been living amongst us, powerless but immortal, since humans stopped worshiping them at the dawn of the Middle Ages.

In their fourteen centuries on earth, the Fallen Olympians have seen, and been a part of a lot of human history. Chapters of the novel take place in the second century CE Roman Empire, Renaissance Italy, the Pandyan Dynasty of Southern India, the Toltec Empire in Mesoamerica, Viking Scandinavia, a 17th century Jamaican port overrun with pirates, Russia during Napoleon's attempted conquest, the bloody trenches of WWI, and the twilight streets of Weimar era Berlin.

The former gods have had many adventures in their long lives. The novel also explores what happens when they attempt to become deities again.

PANTHEON Volume V

The fifth volume of Pantheon looks at two very different immortals.

Ares, the bloodthirsty former god of war, sits down one night to tell stories about the many human wars and violent conflicts he has experienced since coming to earth. He fought with Islamic conquest soldiers, the Vikings, Napoleon's army, and in the trenches of WWI, but nothing unnerved him as much as the time he argued with a pacifist.

In his story, the former trickster god Hermes drags a hapless human across North Africa on a swashbuckling grand adventure to find a hidden treasure buried in the sands of the Sahara. They must race to a forgotten Roman ruin and avoid nefarious Germans, clandestine antiquities agents, and Libyan armed forces.

In the final volume of Pantheon, Zeus convenes a meeting of all twelve former gods to debate whether or not they should reclaim their divine powers.

Their decision sets off a cascading chain of events that completely remakes the world into a paradise of prosperity and equality, a new Golden Age for humanity, with direct and immediate access to the gods.

Then everything goes wrong.
