Overview

Is perfection really an attainable goal? After their deaths, best friends Kate and Daniel learn that perfection is, well, boring. Heaven is not their cup of tea, so to speak, so they leave and begin visiting the afterlives of other religions, other times, even other species. But turmoil keeps churning back on earth, and the friends discover secrets between themselves, and secrets about the world they left, and they begin to wonder if their wandering wasn't aimless after all, but part of a much bigger design.

Heaven is the first book in the epic Afterlife Series that began as a free podcast and remains one of the top five most downloaded podcast books. It will be followed by Hell, Earth, Wasteland, and War.

"Mur Lafferty's Heaven is a heartfelt, engaging fantasy. It's like a Unifying Theory for all religions and mythologies, binding together diverse cosmologies into a coherent, end-of-the-world tale in which the deepest human values may not be enough to save us. Full of surprises and pointed observations about human behaviour." - Minister Faust, author of From The Notebooks of Dr. Brain and The Alchemists of Kush

Editorial Reviews

Cory Doctorow
Lafferty is a funny writer, with a clear obsession for afterlife mythos and an admirable hand for drawing likable characters.

    Great Series

    I have been aware of this book, and this series for quite a while. I know Mur is a great writer, it just didn't seem like something I would enjoy, but I was SO wrong! As a fan of Playing For Keeps, I really wanted to check out something else by this author as I am a fan of her podcast as well. So, I chose to start this series. It is incredibly well-written, decisively well constructed, and incredibly entertaining. Seeing the heavens of other cultures is quite a new thing for at reader, at least in my experience, but Mur handles it deftly. Wonderful job! Can't wait to dig into more of the series.
