The Universe Builders

Broken universes don't fix themselves. They need gods for that...

Bernie is a young god who fixes broken universes for a living. Unfortunately, the universe he's supposed to fix is in the middle of a civil war caused by Ashok, a murderous wizard determined to control the lucrative pepper trade.

Bernie's boss urges him to solve the problem by destroying the evil Ashok and all his people, but Bernie wants no part of such a massacre. Struggling to find another solution, he tries to force Ashok to give up his plans for world domination. As Bernie's attempts at peaceful solutions continue to fail, his boss comes to believe the easiest solution is to destroy all the people on the planet and start over again. Bernie can't let that happen.

Finally reconciled to destroying Ashok and his followers, Bernie is shocked to discover the evil wizard's powers are far more than superstitious nonsense. The young god is drawn into an epic battle pitting the power of the gods against the forces of magic, while the lives of every man, woman, and child on the planet hang in the balance.
