Description
After Mike goes through a gut-wrenching betrayal by his fiancée, he finds himself in what he thinks might be the afterlife.
But this is no heaven. The gods made a mistake and created another Earth in a parallel universe, putting both universes in peril. They need someone from his planet to destroy the alternate, and Mike is randomly selected for the job.
Trapped in an impossible choice, Mike accepts his mission and is returned to an Earth--and a body--so unlike his own. There, he meets Jane, who is--unbeknownst to him--the secret leader of an organization bent on tracking down Earth's saboteur. In the face of her passion for humanity, Mike's resolve falters.
If Mike won't complete his mission, the gods will. Do not miss this compelling roller-coaster read!
Advance Praise
"Showing a genuine flair for originality, narrative storytelling, and the crafting of more plot twists and turns than a Coney Island roller coaster, C. Hofsetz's 'Challenges of the Gods' is a riveting great read from beginning to end and certain to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to community library Science Fiction & Fantasy collections."
Midwest Book Review
"It's a miracle Hofsetz's penetrating sense of humour did not literally crack my ribs. The main character's knack for silly thoughts, conversations between the characters and the culture of Hofsetz's earth (Jora) all filled the book with hilarious moments."
Literary Titan
"Now and then a reader will come across that one book that blows them away, it is a somewhat generic term, but that is what Challenges of the Gods did to me... it blew me away and ever since completing it I have been thinking of its intricate and detailed story and how I need to re-read it!"
Aimee Ann, The Red Headed Book Lover
"Challenges of the Gods is a thrilling page-turner. It's an interplanetary spy drama with plenty of twists and turns, mysteries, moments you never saw coming, epic sci-fi battles, and romance. Also, a quick round of applause for awesome character development."
