Description
Irving (Irv) Isserlis, seventeen, is a sideshow archer, working for a small circus outfit based in the state of Washington. Irv is good, not great, but his partner and girlfriend, Artemis (Arty) McBain, can do no wrong. She never misses, and one night, Irv finds out why. Arty—and another sideshow act, Hercules—really are the gods and demi-gods of myth. A war is brewing. Pandora, along with Medusa, Ixion, and the Harpies, all villains from the ancient Greek myths, have come to Earth to steal the souls of the other gods who are hiding out there and protecting humanity. Irv discovers that the stealing of souls is part of a larger plan. An unknown god is trying to foment a rebellion and claim power for himself, but only if he collects enough souls to challenge Zeus and Hera. If war comes, then it will be a war that Irv cannot fight by conventional means. Yet, he chooses to join Arty, Hercules, Iris, and other gods and goddesses who are on the side of justice to fight against their mysterious foe. And it is only when the chips are down that Irv is forced to make the trick shot of his life.
