Description

All is not well with the universe - cutbacks have taken their toll, and the sun is dirty and late, thanks to being 30 billion miles overdue on its next service. None of the committees can agree on anything, and extreme measures seem called for. By the author of Ye Gods! and Flying Dutch .

All is not well with the universe, as it is very inefficiently run by the heavenly bureaucracy, which is in dire need of a shake-up. And that's what it gets when a bored human office-worker called Jane gets a job there as a management trainee. An enjoyable story, which explains some of the oddities of the world's underground railways (see chapter 16).

Hilarious, cynical book about the inefficiency of most offices and businesses in general, especially the ones running the earth. I do prefer Small Gods though.
The universe does not need a god or gods to be or to run. Jane proved that in this great story. Tom Holt is one of the best!
Delightful bureaucratic machinations.
