1945: The top-secret Knickerbocker Project is putting the finishing touches on a biological weapon: gigantic fire-breathing lizards engineered to stomp and burn cities. The Navy wants B-movie star Syms Thorley to don a rubber suit and star in a film that simulates the destruction of a miniature Japanese metropolis. If the demonstration succeeds, the Japanese will surrender, and many lives will be spared; if it fails, the horrific lizards will be unleashed. Syms Thorley must now give the most terrifyingly convincing performance of his life.

Necrophenia
The symptoms have been studied, and the diagnosis is confirmed: the universe will cease to exist in just 12 hours. But before existence is eradicated, a shopkeeper must complete a sitting room for God; a woman uncovers the Metaphenomena of the Multiverse; an aging super villain will put the finishing touches on his plans for transdimensional domination; serious trouble will break out at the New Messiah's Convention in Acton; and a far-fetched fiction author will receive Divine Enlightenment. Will the universe end with a bang, or a whimper . . . or something else entirely, possibly involving a time-traveling Elvis Presley with a sprout in his head?
A modern-day teenager, a Victorian detective, and a 6th-century warrior confront secrets that connect the Grail, a tower of glass, and a vanishing gem; behind it all lurks an entity known only as Omega.
