Publisher's Synopsis
Asil has the usual problems of a modern teenager trying to fit in. A girlfriend who won't commit, a school that bores him, a life that's passing him by, quasi-fights that are too often interrupted, an overly traditional father who used to be a god of Vengeance and wants him to take on the family business. Hum. On second thought, at least one of his problems is unusual. And it turns out the myths exaggerated the power and majesty of the old divinities... more than a little. But the moral of the old tales is correct: mess with the gods, get pummelled by Nemesis. In person. She's his new boss. And she really wants to make the world a better place, by inflicting pain and death on those who defy her divine authority. Which is everyone, nowadays. And Asil, newly minted godling of Vengeance, has the choice between hurting people in her name, or being hurt in her name. A difficult choice, but fortunately he can rely on the help and guidance of his insecure and jealous friends. Who are only slightly more competent than him, at facing a world where gods are monsters. Now on the run from Nemesis, he flees to Iraq for peace and security...
