Publisher's Synopsis
Clarence Manning is a working stiff and a borderline alcoholic whose only solace is gazing out his window at mankind with a drink in his hand. Love and beauty are dead and gone. Yet he smells rose petals on the night wind . . . sees them falling from the sky. When three sentient beings invade his life, Clarence scoffs at their divine nature. The Blue God, Trujillo, matches Clarence's apathy with divine, razor-like arrogance. Lenore, the god of yellow light, bestows the most beautiful, loving companion. And Donatello, The Red God, offers loyalty and friendship in a way he's never experienced. But Clarence wants no part of divine intervention, and he rebukes the gods with a vengeance. When Trujillo proposes war, Clarence taps into his own god-like power, unleashing a tangible darkness from his very own past, a creature of shadow that spells annihilation for mankind, the gods, and the very fabric of reality.
