Glen Cook : Novel : Petty Pewter Gods

The New Gods In Town
were making things tough for everyone. And temple real estate on the Street of Dreams was at a premium. With too many pantheons and not enough prayer palaces to go around in TunFaire, the big gods on the block came up with the solution to hold a contest. The goal: find the "key" to the one temple that was still up for grabs. Simple enough, right? But the top guys had made sure the "key" was well hidden, and petty pewter gods didn't have that many resources.

P.I. Garrett knew he was in for it when two rival pantheons tried to hire him. A confirmed atheist, Garrett wanted nothing to do with the gods. He had enough problems in a town where things were heating up fast between the locals and the hordes of unwelcome newcomers. But the gods won't take "no" for an answer, and if Garrett doesn't come up with something quick, TunFaire might be treated to a war that could rip the very fabric of the universe apart!

Garrett, der Philip Marlowe in der Elfenwelt Karentas, bekommt diesmal richtig Ärger, als er mal wieder einer Rothaarigen hinterhersteigt: Diese Frau erweist sich als eine Falle, die die Götter höchstpersönlich für ihn aufgestellt haben. Doch Garrett, der wie immer keine Lust hat zu arbeiten, kann den Auftrag nicht ablehnen, denn Göttern gibt man keine Abfuhr.

Nach einer abenteuerlichen Jagd mit fliegenden Pferden, kiffenden Putten, prallen Halbgöttinnen, ebenso verführerischen wie mörderischen rothaarigen Kriegsgöttinnen und tumben, aber mächtigen Obergöttern kommt es schließlich zum letzten Showdown ... Gelingt es Garrett, die Intrigen der Götter ein weiteres Mal zu überstehen?
